RT 2008-  Pittsburgh, PA

It was the 25th Anniversary of the RT Booklover's Convention and consequently,  the biggest names in the industry were there in force. 

Romance's most famous cover models, including John DeSalvoand FABIO were there to help RT celebrate the convention's Silver Anniversary. 

 

The Annual Reviewer's Choice Awards were AMAZING because the true PIONEERS OF ROMANCE, those who have been writing since the mass marketing of romance novels began in the late 60's & early 70's, were in attendance and recognized for thier many contributions to the industry.

Some but not all of the legendary authors in attendance were Bertrice Small, Roberta Gellis, Leigh Greenwood, Jennifer Blake and of course, Heather Graham.

 

The theme for my publisher's party was "Hollywood's Golden Era" and this photo was taken right before the event.

(BTW -  you can click on the photo and see the video of my "Red Carpet Entrance

 

RT 2008 IN PITTSBURGH was BLAST as always, but having my first official booksigning made it  even more fun for me.

The bookfair was a tremendous success for me on so many levels...

1)  I made a wonderful new friend (and found a 'kindred spirit') in my Bookfair table-mate, author, Anne Elizabeth ( Anne...you RRRRRRRock!)

 
 

2)  My books SOLD OUT...which I was very pleased about since I am a new author and I was only one of over 200 authors participating in the event that day.

 

3)  I was interviewed at the bookfair and found out that the videographer, Paige, was a fan!!!    AGAIN...How cool is that?!!!

 

4)    The owner of 'Night Owl Romance' who filmed the 'Red Carpet Walk', Tammi King & interviewed me at the EC kick-off party during coverage of the convention.
