P is for Pics of the Romance Times Convention


I've certainly not been quiet about the fact that I headed north to Chicago for the Romance Times Booklover's Convention.  You've all had to endure my excitement and travel notes and blunders along the last few days.  So, I wanted to share a few of my fun times with you.


Of course, I mentioned I met with my family that I hadn't seen in many years north of Milwaukee.  But, I'm not entirely sure they'd appreciate their pictures being shared with those they don't know.  So, I'll skip to where I met up with Author J.D. Brown and Rochelle Weber, my editor.

                         

I boarded my first train ride on the CTA here.  Rochelle was the perfect tour guide, having lived there for so long!  Oh, that's J.D. on the left and Rochelle on the right in that first pic.

We ended up walking seven miles around downtown Chicago!  (Yeah, Rochelle clocked it. *wink*)  My poor little feet.

               

But J.D. and I buoyed each other up and we made it to the Con.

               

So many authors to visit and so little time!  It was fantastic at the book fair!

               

Mary Janice Davidson had a reader appreciation party I couldn't pass up...



                    


The Hyatt was beautiful.  And I got to see Anne Rice enter her limo with her body guards and drive away.  Darn it all if I didn't have my camera at the ready.

Totally tired me out, but it's an experience I'll always remember and use as an inspiration to work on my own books.  I'll be one of those authors in that book fair next year in Kansas City for the Romance Times Booklovers Conference, 2013!
