Bad Blogger!
Bad blogger! Bad!
Seriously though, this is the very first moment since my plane touched down in Orlando that I’ve had some time to sit…well, sit without yakking. Because there has been a lot of yakking!
I arrived on Tuesday and immediately went to The Dinner, where I got to meet some of the most lovely women I have ever met! All of the Harlequin ladies, and everyone else for that matter, is so lovely!
I spent Wednesday at Disney with lots of lovely writers and some of the M&B editors. We had a blast, we got soaked on Splash Mountain, and I can’t imagine that anyone has more cooler editors than we do. 🙂
Thursday I had lunch with my editor, Jenny Hutton, who is as lovely in person as she is online or over the phone. It’s so valuable to get that face to face conversation time. l learned more in five days than I have in seven months.
I think I tend to look on The Publishing Business as being mysterious and unknown. It was nice to hear that there are no secrets, we just need to ask questions. So that’s my early New Year’s Resolution.
One thing I so love and appreciate about Harlequin is the feeling of family. Everyone was so welcoming and sweet to me. Above and beyond what I had expected.
Oh, and the Harlequin Party was amazing!
In closing, I spent a while last night talking to the wonderful Sandra Marton. To hear her speak of writing now after she’s completed eighty books, with as much enthusiasm as I have after four, is an amazing thing. I hope to always love it so much.
Stay tuned for a more detailed break down of the conference…now, I have to get ready to catch my plane!

It all seems hopelessly glam to me! I want to go next time!!
Just realized I’m sitting in every photo…what’s that about?
Thanks all! It was a blast! I’ll be blogging more as soon as my head stops feeling all swimmy.
