I'm home but haven't found time to upload any of the pics yet. This morning--back to the 6 hour commute to hell and back. That's the time suck that takes away every free moment of my life, it seems. And of course, my nemesis the cement mixer was standing there smiling at me and saying, "Hello, lady, it's time to suffer again. Come along."
So I hope you don't mind if I just give "quickies" of my RT memories. I promise to let you see the pics soon. I had the best time at RT this year--good news, great friends, wonderful weather. Simply perfect.
More random memories:
1) My motto: Why walk when you can convertible?
2) Barry Eisler's favorite line at RT: So, see you at the Vampire Ball tonight? Are you going to the Pajamas Party afterwards?
3) Listening to Mark Henry read some love scenes out loud.
4) Hearing the term "mangeant" used for the Mr. Romance contest.
5) Laughing ourselves sick at the He Sex She Sex workshop when the conversation expanded into inventions such as floppy balls hammock (please don't ask me to explain; you have to be there).
6) Meeting new RT virgins such as J.A. Konrath (who is PERFECT for RT) and Robert Gregory Browne. RT gave out pins for newcomers that said "Be gentle with me, I'm a virgin." Cute.
7) Jeaniene Frost was signing the ARCs of her next Night Huntress book and I nabbed one!
8) Great to see Mario Acevedo here too (Virgin!). Try his vampire books, girls--so funny and snarky, and with great titles: X-Rated Blood Suckers and The Nymphos of Rocky Flats. They're one of a kind! ;-)
9) The horrible economy has also touched the lives of our romance models...most of them were only sponsored for a few days instead of the full week.
10) My most memorable line of the convention: "I'm sorry I mushed your package." You fill in the story line for me ;-).
That's it for now. I still have to finish unpacking! And I promise my new editor that I'll get the Virtually One proposal done so that we can start getting serious about publishing dates, etc. I am so psyched!
And finally, THANK YOU FOR THE CONGRATS about Virtually Hers and Virtually One. I'm so happy they've found a good home that will promote them and reach for the readers who have been looking for them. I feel refreshed and invigorated. I feel powerful and eager to conquer my writing. I feel very, very, very, very awesome.

yyaayyyy! I'm so happy for you =] I can't wait to hear more good news about VHers and VOne! Keep us up to date! I can't wait to see what other interesting pics you took at the RT. I need to go to one of those one of these days!
That's great news about VHers and VOne. I buy from Samhain regularly so I'll know when Jed's time comes. I'll have to buy both the e-book and the print coz a Jed book needs to be held in my hands but I want to add to your e-book sales.
Jenn,
You deserve to feel very, very, very, very awesome.
I am so happy for you and Jed. :)

Sounds like RT was a blast this year. Wish I could have been there to give you a hug and smooch! Can't wait to see the pictures!

Cool Jen! I'm so happy for you. A much deserved congrats to you and many, MANY more books hopefully to come our way. I can't wait for VHers and VOne! I'm psyched with you!
Thanks for the congrats again, everyone. I've been very, very, very busy trying to get back into schedule with work and writing, so bear with me. I'll blog more about RT at the end of the week, and if I survive being back to the Commute From Hell.
