So, I’m in San Diego, attending my first ever Romance Writers of America conference.
These guys know how to do an event up BIG. There are more than 2000 Romance writers [and probably a few other hangers-on like myself] at this conference. The city is amazing, everyone has been lovely and I just watched the amazing Beverly Jenkins knock everyone dead with her keynote speech. [This is the second keynote I’ve heard from Beverly. She is nothing short of awesome as a speaker. She educates me, uplifts me as a writer and she makes me laugh AND cry every time.]
I’m not a romance writer, but my agent lives in this city, my editor came for this event, and I see this as a chance to learn from a wonderful and diverse group of other writers. [Also? Apart from a few meetings, signings and parties I’m supposed to attend — no organization required!]
If you follow me on twitter, FB or Instagram, you’ll see a few of the shots I’ve taken while around town.
I have a signing tomorrow afternoon from 1-2:30 pm in the Marriot ballroom, but apart from that, my plans are to drink in the atmosphere, learn as much as I can, and enjoy this pretty city. If you are nearby, come say hello!
More soon…

So much fun!
While you’re not really a romance writer you have a book so checkmark next to writer. And there’s romance in it (along with many references to Jamie Fraser) so I’d call it close enough 😉
Enjoy the conference!

Enjoy! I’m sure you’ll bring back even more than your usual enthusiasm to share at SiWC! (and maybe a new pair of tights???) 🙂

I’m sure it is a blast to enjoy a conference rather than stress about how one is going. Well-earned. I would love to have seen/heard Beverly talk again. Lucky you. Enjoy the rest of the conference!

The Romance Writers always seem to know how to throw a party if their ‘sub-events’ at assorted conferences are any example!
Find some awesome speakers to tells us about!
