Fabulous! My pic's on my website too. I'll certainly come by and introduce myself on Weds at Literary Autographing.

I've just been to the UK Romantic Novelists' Association conference - my first one. With just a couple of hundred people there, it's miniscule in comparison to the giant American conferences. But it was fun and useful and at least with a smaller group there's a chance to talk to people I'd never even see at a large conference.

Maybe one day I'll get to go to one of the American ones. I can dream!

After a rejection I really had high hopes for, Mr. HH let me register for Surrey in October.

Looking forward to meeting some AWers!

I'm a long time lurker here, first time poster. I'm going to Anaheim and I'm sooo frightened I've talked myself into not going at least four times this past week (and then talked myself back into going lol). Someone tell me it's going to be fun and not scary and not like my freshman year homecoming, which I spent hiding behind a tree?

I'm with Samhain and Entangled, and totally going to fangirl the lot of you.

Take a deeepppp breath. First and foremost...you are going to a convention FILLED with women who love romance and are unapologetic book nerds. Seriously, that has to be one of the least scary groups to be around. Oh, and these romance loving booknerds are also there to let their hair loose, party, and meet new people. The booze will be flowing, the laughter will be plentiful, and at the end you are going to feel SO GOOD about yourself that you had the courage to go and I can 100% guarantee you that there will be someone even more shy than you there.

So, put on your big girl panties, strap on your beer helmet, and have fun!

Speaking of flowing booze, is anyone going to Author's After Dark in New Orleans in August? I'll be there and would love to have a drink or two with some AW'ers.

Thank you so much. I have my fingers crossed. But with both Hoyt and Loretta Chase in the running I'm not swotting up on an acceptance speech to any great extent.

CONGRATULATIONS, Joanna!!! Great acceptance speech too. Just NOW (alas) reading this thread that you were going to be there and were nominated or I'd have sought you out to at least say 'hi', but I'm so thrilled I was there to witness your win. You do us all proud!

For anyone that's coming in early to AAD, we're taking a morning trip out to Jackson Square on Wednesday. If you'd like to come along, hit me up on facebook.

Folks, I wanted to let you know about my latest blog post because I've logged my experience at RWA. Just click on the blog below if you'd like to read. :-) Hope to make it again in 2013! Course that'll depend on what happens this year. Anaheim is a whole lot closer than Atlanta...
