Decadent Decisions: I Survived RT and didn't even get a lousy T-shirt

I Survived RT and didn't even get a lousy T-shirt

But I did get a ton of books! Yes!!! *fist bumps* There are some really amazing authors and readers and publishers and book industry people. I met Bob Mayer, Sylvia Day and Cherry Adair.

The best moment of all was meeting Facebook friends. I met the lovely Kacey Hammell, who has been a guest on my blog and will be appearing again during the birthday bash. I also met Kallypso Masters, Fiona Archer. Babette James, Jillian Chantal and many others. I'll try to get pics posted, but I'm too tired and lazy right now to grab the cord to my phone and plug it into my laptop. *sigh*

I will admit being visually impaired and navigating through a large hotel with close to a thousand people with bags and easels and tables and construction has me in hiding at the moment. One thing I learned is I CAN go somewhere by myself. However, it would've been nice to have a buddy there just for me. Oh, I asked for help and received it. And I will go to another conference in the future, but I'm bringing a friend, a sister. a son. Someone who won't mind shoving...er guiding me through crowds or grabbing me a plate from the buffet. Stuff like that.

I learned lots and hope to put what I've learned in some of my WIPs. I'm really glad I came to Chicago. The city is amazing. RT is wonderful. Even as I write this post (Friday evening) I'm thinking about the FAN-tastic Party tomorrow (Saturday evening). I will have swag on me. Post cards, sewing kits, and ink pens. But just come say hi.

Speaking to the readers and hearing what they like and don't like has been the best thing I've ever done. I love hearing what readers think.

And don't forget the 14 Days of Giveaways beginning on April 17, 2012 beginning at 12:01am.

Until next time Indulge Your Inner Romantic.

Congratulations!!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by on the SCP-Where in the World am I?

I loved the answers I received.

Yes, Bozo was from my hometown AND graduated from my high school. His name was Bob Bell. Mr. Bell received an Emmy for playing Bozo in 1970 and was inducted in the Clown Hall of Fame a year before he passed away.

December 30, 1936-February 1937 The Union staged a strike in the Fisher plant.

Every year in August, people from all over the world flock to downtown for the Crim Festival of Races.

And all of these lovely event occurred in my hometown of Flint, Michigan. Just Michigan was acceptable as well. :-)

Using Randon.org I chose a winner from the correct responses. Congratulations Mel, you should have an email from me in your inbox.

The Pick-Up Wife

Leo Shepard has few regrets, but leaving his wife Symmone to pursue his career was a catastrophic mistake. Now that he’s achieved his every dream and is about to make partner at Greene and Banks Architects, he lacks one thing, a wife. But Leo doesn’t want just any wife, he wants the woman he left behind.

From the moment she laid eyes on Leo, Symmone knew she would have her happily ever after. The last thing she expected was a divorce and a broken heart. Devastated by the end of her marriage, she has no choice but to quit school and pick up the pieces of her life.

Working two jobs to support herself and her children, Symmone has little room in her life for romance and even less for her pulsating attraction to her ex-husband. When Leo strolls into the cafe where she works, bent on reconciliation, the chemistry between them is more powerful than ever. Yet she won't give in to his soft words and expensive gifts. More than just her heart is at stake, her children are, as well.

Blurb/Excerpt

Five days, three rules, and one sizzling seduction.

Delia has just three rules for dating. First, a man should never assume he’s the only one. Second, he must stick to his scheduled day and time. Third—and most important—no sex. Enforcing the rules has never been a problem until she meets the hottie from the pool.

Jace has only five days to make every moment count. The more time he spends with Delia, the more he realizes she may be The One. With the clock ticking, he realizes there is only one course of action left to take if he wants Delia’s heart. Can he convince Delia that rules are meant to be broken?

Blurb:

Haunted by nightmares, Sheridan Sinclair just wants to get through one night without reliving the terrible accident that led to her miscarriage. And she longs for the arms of the man who betrayed her. Matthew Sinclair has always loved his wife, but when she refuses to speak to him after her accident, he's left to wonder what went wrong. When a stolen kiss ignites their forgotten passion, he'll use their love as a means to get her home and in his bed again. Will a husband’s plan of seduction be enough to heal a wife’s broken heart?
