I participated in the indie book signing and the Literacy
book signing, a first at RWA for me.
I was able to visit with many friends: Sharon Buchbinder who
had me laughing;
Susan Dunn who showed off her handbag; Beverley Bateman,
Silver James, Debbie Ward who wanted to know which handbag I brought (I also
owe Beverley!); being with the Sisterhood of Suspense girls-Sarah, Sharon,
Stephanie, and Veronica; Liese for arranging the best dinner ever with
fireworks, Tina Dick for being the nicest person and bringing me German
chocolate. To all the friends I’ve made over the years who stopped by the
signing and bought my book, took pictures, and gave me hugs. You made my day
very special.
Usually, I come away with one thing to work on. I attended
lots of different workshops: Mark Dawson, a couple on emotion, and Story
Genius. All looked at the h/h’s wound, what caused it, what misbelief they
carried as a result, and how they will change by the end of the book.
By Sunday morning, Sylvia and I were on the way to the
airport where we quickly went through security. (I heartily recommend
precheck!) It’s hard to believe all the fun was over two weeks ago!

You looked great at the books signing. I'm glad you had a wonderful time. Do you recommend it for other authors to attend?
Hi, Melissa! According to my friend who has been published for a long while, I sold a lot of books. It was fun, exciting and full of great rejoicing.
When I attended my first RWA conference in Dallas and went to the book signing, I determined my goal would be to become Pro, PAN, and be at the book signing. Lots of people stopped by. The Sisterhood of Suspense authors had a contest and I met many people that way, too.
So for me, yes, it was so worth it.
Always great to spend time with you!
Hi, Liese! The dinner and the fireworks show were so memorable. Thank you for arranging all.
You look awesome at the book signing table!
Thank you, Angela! I wore my favorite dress. I felt awesome and had a fabulous day.
