You know, romance authors have been getting dissed a lot latelyaround blogland, and I'm so happy to see that you met a lot of fabulous "big name" authors who were gracious, generous and lovely. Simply wonderful!

Same thing when we here our own voices. I've no idea how many times I've thought "I don't really sound like that do I?"<BR/><BR/>C2: It certainly was the trip of a lifetime!<BR/><BR/>Wendy: Ah shucks mam *blush* Now I really WILL have to get you dancing to Everything I Do.<BR/><BR/>Cindy: I only figured out one very small part of how it works. And you didn't hear my 'shit, shit, fuck, fuck when it kept crashing on me at first and my almost out the door mad dash up to the room to tell Jane I can't do it!' moments. And LOL I didn't really give Wendy much of a chance to decline. I just kind of grabbed and dragged. And she is taller than me!<BR/><BR/>Rosie: there were even more special moments and I'm smackin' my head that I didn't include more.<BR/><BR/>Tara: Wow is right. Jane, Wendy and Sybil kept asking me how much I was enjoying it and I just didn't have enough words to tell them.<BR/><BR/>Nora: Thank you. It was very special. I would have liked to say more but I was a terribly awestruck. And I won't mention that when I saw your post I immediately emailed my sister Lisa at work and in big bold red letters and 44 point said you posted on my blog. Nope - won't mention that.<BR/><BR/>Gabrielle: I did, I did. I'm in awe.<BR/><BR/>Jane A: Thank you! And welcome to the blog. I'm glad you enjoyed them. It's been such fun writing them although I know I've forgotten so much.<BR/><BR/>Mailyn: You would not believe how nice and down to earth she is. I'm in awe of her too.<BR/>And I noticed ;)<BR/><BR/>Devon: That was one thing that really struck me - how real and approachable every author I met was. I didn't interrupt or anything, but when I talked to any of the authors they were warm and friendly. I came away with such a good feeling about all of them.<BR/><BR/>Bonnie: It was wonderful meeting you too. And Pamela. And thank you so much for introducing me to Leah. We've already been in touch. I said you never know how small a pebble can be to start making waves.<BR/>And I wore the earings to work today and told EVERYONE at work *g*<BR/><BR/>Nath: there were so few downsides to the trip. The camera, the aching feet and my complete and utter clumsiness when it came to getting into cabs and trying to hop up on the really high beds were about all there was.<BR/><BR/>Kaitlin: I am happy!Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-60849092867998018732007-07-18T19:08:00.000-04:002007-07-18T19:08:00.000-04:00Kristie-La Nora posted a comment!

Good luck with your writing and email me if you have any questions. Keep plugging away with your writing and hopefuly one day I'll see you with your pink ribbon and your PAN badge. That would be cool! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for mentioning to Leah the problem with getting Dorchester books in Canada. Hopefully that will get resolved. <BR/><BR/>And yeah, I'm still jealous you get to see Loreena in concert. :-)<BR/><BR/>BTW, didn't I tell you about the books?

I feel like I in the room - a little fly on the wall and that's just A-okay with me ;) <BR/><BR/>I can't believe you were able to figure out the Iphone! Great for you! Now you can show us all how to use techy stuff ;) Bad me for not knowing exactly what an Iphone is but obviously you could post the winners.<BR/><BR/>And I wanna know how you got Wendy to dance - or is she just naturally a dancer. And honey, I think we all probably such as dancers but who cares if it's great music and great friends!<BR/><BR/>Knowing your passion for books I wonder if maybe another job change might be in the works.

LOL That's so ridiculously close to where I live now that I can hardly stand it.<BR/><BR/>I have to say that staying with Kristie and watching her have so much fun pretty much made my trip. She really got the full experience, and had such a wonderful time. She was a little social butterfly.
