Don't you love my big dice? I left the table for a couple of minutes and someone tried to take them! Romancing the Holidays book signing sponsored by the Central Florida Romance Writers.

 


Signing books at The Bookshelf in Thomasville, Georgia.
The store is absolutely wonderful!

 
RWA, July 2009 Literacy Signing, Washington D.C.
 


My first RWA Literacy signing!


Me and Mel. If I look a bit glazed, that's thanks to the wine Mel smuggled in!

 


Seeing my name on that table put a big smile on my face.

Romantic Times Book Club Convention, April 2009, Orlando, Florida
 



It's a bird, it's a plane, no! It's the pink blob Bunco lady! Okay, so I might have looked a bit ridiculous here, but it's all in the name of fun. This was my first Romantic Times Covention and as you can see, I clearly had a blast.


Welcome to my Bunco Babes Book Bash!


The quiet before the storm...


The party begins!


Louisa Edwards, Kristen Painter, Deidre Knight and Jane from Dear Author playing Bunco.


Me in my "official" RT hat.


Deidre Knight and her Spartan "warriors" at the Gods of Midnight party.

 

 


Here's a shot of the basket I raffled off. Didn't my raffle box turn out lovely? I had absolutely no clue that I needed one until I got
to the convention, but thanks to the people at Office Depot in Orlando, I put one together in just under a hour. Who knew all that arts and crafts at Girl Scouts would one day pay off?


My sister Carmen, who came to help me with the Bunco Bash. She was a total lifesaver! (Sorry I cut the hair off your Tippy Toes doll back when we were kids).


Even though most of these ladies had never played Bunco before, they quickly caught on. Of course, they had a most excellent teacher...


Gerri Russell having a good time. The lone dude at the table was a blast. He was also one of my prize winners!


Me and my grand prize winner. I was so exhilerated after an afternoon of Bunco-ing that I forgot to get her name!



Book Signings!
 

Bunco Broads Bash - my first signing.


Doesn't that look yummy?


My Bunco group- the Tallahassee Bunco Broads. They threw me a private book signing at our monthly Bunco party. Aren't they the best?

 



More yumminess.


Something to remember my special day. As if I could ever forget. Thank you!

 


 
 


My first "official" signing. Books-A-Million, May 9, 2009


Me, Kaori and Kandy. The staff at B&N was fabulous!

 


Thanks to all my wonderful friends and family, I sold out of books!

I admit it, I'm one of those people who watches the Super Bowl for the commercials. But I have to admit, last night's game was fantastic. I'm just sorry the Cardinals couldn't pull it off (I'd volunteer to console Kurt Warner, but he DOES have that wife and million kids of his...) And it was refreshing to watch a half-time show that delivered pure entertainment without a bunch of smoke and mirrors and falling off tops.
