Romance Slam Jam 2008
Me and Beverly Jenkins. I had just
registered, she walked into the lobby, and I
nearly passed out!
A reader session with Denise Jeffries and
Karen White-Owens.  Karen gave me a pen!
(She doesn't give them to just anybody.)
Kimberly Kaye Terry and Mary B. Morrison. They
gave a riveting workshop called "Hot With Plot," all
about creating erotic love scenes and still having a
good plot.
Todd Stone, after his Novelist's Boot Camp
workshop. I told you he was oddly dressed. I
guess it was appropriate, considering the
workshop title.

The massive book signing held on Saturday
afternoon. That's Rochelle Alers in the
foreground. She may look distracted, but I think
she's plotting her next bestseller.
The loony and lovable Marcia Colette. Doesn't
she just scream innocence?
The fly ladies at my table during the Emma Awards Banquet.
Beverly swept most of the categories, but our loveliness
swept the waiters off their feet!
Remember those fly ladies I sat with? Marcia was
one of them. Behold, her "Cover Girl" moment.
Shades of Romance founder and my
RSJ roomie, Lashaunda Hoffman.
Ain't she purdy?

Keaton.

Miss Beverly, accepting the last of, I don't
know,umpteen awards. This was after her win
for Author of the Year.
Me and Beverly again. I had to congratulate her
on her impressive body of work, and her sweep
of the awards.
Me and Kayla Perrin. She commented on how
much she loved my enthusiasm. Hey, it was
Kayla Perrin, after all!
