Friday is all about the publisher parties at RWA. And I went to the Berkley and Harlequin parties. I ran into my agent, Lucienne (See! She exists! She knows me and everything!).
Got Loribelle to show me her tats.
Hung out with the Divas.
And then helped a bunch of them crash the Harlequin party.
P.S. I really wish I’d had my camera in my hand when I got out on the dance floor with Lucienne. It would have been awesome footage!
Thursday, the day of insanity. I met with my agent and then MC’d the Passionate Ink Party (which I was too nervous to take pics of). Then took pictures with my girls at the Kensington publisher party.
Then on to the Diva Dinner. The Mad Madam M came to hang out with me that day.
And with Divas, it’s all about naughty fun, shoes, and cleavage.
The Mad Madam M has been slaving away on her Master’s thesis for six months (which is why we’ve had no Hump Day Hotties for a long time), and she had her thesis defense today.
Took Robin L. Rotham to Golden Gate Park for the first time on Monday. For some reason she didn’t seem all that impressed by the homeless man bongo concert taking place. Huh.
Then went to an awesome Cuban restaurant on the Haight.
Spent Tuesday in Chinatown.
Where we went to the Hong Kong Clay Pot restaurant and had great food. I even narrated some of it.
Then met up with some Divas to kick off the conference right.
In the distant future, Earth has been ravaged by war and famine, and after generations of bloodshed settles into peace only to be invaded by the alien Delroi. General Alrik Torfa needs a mate and his seers promise mates for many of his people on the distant planet Earth. He doesn’t expect her to come easily, but is more than a little surprised to find her leading an enemy army. Outmanned and outgunned, there is no way the Earth forces can win.
Sergeant Major Laney Bradford has always played her part and served her people well, but the demands of the Delroi’s surrender are a bit extreme. Marriage? To one of them? Not likely. But she’s fought for peace her entire life and when surrender talks are threatened by a conspiracy led by her people, Laney must choose. Will she submit to the alien invader or lead the fight against him?
I’m on my way home now, making a few pit-stops at family’s houses for visitation rights in California (also putting off going back to work, because what fun is that?)
Also, staying with Mad Madam M for a day or two just to keep my family waiting with baited breath for us to come out of the closet and take advantage of the gay-marriage-in-California thing. *sigh* You know what they say about assumptions.
Although sometimes it make not feel like it on Monday morning…
You are getting enough sleep.
Want to sleep better? Try wearing socks to bed and turning your clock to where you can’t see it.
More crazy links to my blog. What is wrong with people…and what on Earth could I have been saying in my blog to generate this kind of interest? Sheesh!
Horse sex (sorry, no…this only works if it starts with “hung like a…”)
Penis enlargement (while that equipment is a source of constant fascination, I do not, in fact, have one of my own, so…)
Silk Flowers Wholesale (really? I don’t even like silk flowers. Huh.)
Gay Anime Sex (cartoon sex is just wrong. Ew.)
College Girls Wet and Wild (I was never a wet or wild college girl, but since I feature them so often on my blog, I can totally see why this link might show up)
When to take kittens from mom (if that’s like taking candy from a baby, that is so mean!)
