Had a busy work day today, trying to tie up loose ends before next week. You see, I’m going to be gone all next week for the RWA National Conference in DC and I can’t wait. Don’t worry–I’m not going to leave you hanging. There will be tweets and blogs and pictures, OH MY! I’m really hoping for another karaoke night like we had in Dallas, though nothing will ever top Drag Queen Karaoke.

So, can you believe I’ll be on a panel? That’s right…me, Mel Francis will be on a panel. Like an expert. Pretending to know what the hell she’s talking about.

If you’re not meeting with an editor or agent Friday, July 17 from 9:45-10:45 then you’ll want to join us in the room Delaware B for our discussion on I SOLD TO NY…NOW WHAT? and maybe together, we’ll discover the answer.

The panel of experts includes: Maria Geraci, Crystal Jordan, Lilli Feisty, Kate Pearce, Lynn Rae Harris and, of course, me.

Don’t miss it. There’s no telling what this group of miscreants experts will do.

I am also doing a very special interview on Tuesday. Stay tuned for more info about that. You won’t wanna miss it, that’s for sure.

To file away in the ‘has she lost her bleepin’ marbles’ file: I’m thinking of trying to do a carry on bag only. Yes, I’m aware I’ll be there for a full week. Yes, I’m aware I’m a chronic over packer. Yes, I’m aware this probably won’t work. and Yes, I can hear you laughing all the way through the internetz. So glad I have your support.

I’m going as Maria’s +1 (I’m always her +1) to the Berkley party on Friday. That will be fun. And I have a lunch planned with my lovely agent where I plan to worship her like the goddess she is.

What else?

I have plans to finally meet Colleen Gleason (that cyber stalking internet friendship has really paid off) and Book Chic (who is bringing me his copy of my book so I can sign which will be my first official autograph request and seriously I’m all verklempt about it!)

Hmmm. Guess that’s all for right now. Just gotta spend the weekend tweaking final changes/edits on LOVE SUCKS! and get it to awesome editor by Monday so I can be home free for DC!

If you’re planning to be there, let me know! I’d love to connect. I’ll be easy to find: I’m the one with the great cleavage and the very open laugh who will probably be at the bar w/ other women w/ great cleavage and really great laughs. And we’ll be laughing. We’re always laughing.
