THE ROAD HOME

A fresh skiff of snow on Wedge Mountain — must be midsummer. Home. And I am psyched about the road that lies ahead after the RWA conference in San Francisco. A good, hard, and hot run in the sun cleared the cobwebs from my conference brain, and I came up with some ideas for my new online read. Also managed to unpack. I have issues with unpacking, so am particularly proud to have tackled the chore ASAP.

I’d post more pics from RWA but am having WordPress issues — for a teensy visual slice of what went down in San Fran, please visit my Facebook page (way easy to upload pics there) .. and friend me while you’re at it!

The true highlight of my conference was meeting my agent, Jennifer Jackson face-to-face for the first time, and discovering that she was everything I expected, and so much more. A wonderful food ‘snob’, Jennifer took me here.

The other highlight was having dinner with the awesome Susan Litman, my editor, who rescued me from the slush pile not that many years ago. Always a delight to see and chat with her.

Beyond that — I connected with old friends, made new ones, and found nuggets of pure gold in the workshops.

Again, I was impressed with RWA, the RITA event, and everything in between.
