It's great to see authors and get free books, but the highlight is definitively catching up with the bloggers :)nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-58175854599677922752011-07-04T13:43:05.156-04:002011-07-04T13:43:05.156-04:00I love that train ride, Kristie!

I had a wonderful time chatting with you, although it was way to short. <br /><br />PS: I STILL have the first book in this Clare series in my TBR! What am I waiting for? Thanks for reminding me. :)Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-59496823449977076682011-07-03T22:17:41.573-04:002011-07-03T22:17:41.573-04:00Enjoyed reading about your RWA experiences! Funny,...Enjoyed reading about your RWA experiences! Funny, Susanna Kearsley was at the top of my "must meet" list, too, at the Literacy Signing and I was so excited to get to tell her in person how much I admired her work! I'm from New Orleans, so this would probably be my one and only chance to ever meet her.(I brought my beloved copy of Mariana for her to sign.) I found the signing exhausting but oh-so-worth it in the sheer number of great authors I got to meet in person. A wonderful experience!<br /><br />Joanne @ Books, Belles & BeauxJoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07716758796036142540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-21639590523387950632011-07-03T21:37:27.642-04:002011-07-03T21:37:27.642-04:00Kristie, it was wonderful to meet you, too!

I love putting faces to names, and you're right, it doesn't actually feel like a first meeting, does it?<br /><br />Maybe I'll have to start saving for Brisbane, too, so we can both sit down with Marg (no security required, Marg :-)<br /><br />And I've had a Colonial New York story brewing for awhile, actually (my ancestors lived at Hell Gate in the mid-eighteenth century), so maybe when I'm done the next book, that one will be next...<br /><br />Thinking of you and your sister this week.

I'm normally very quiet & shy upon first meeting new people and while still am to a certain degree when I meet fellow online romance friends, it's not the same almost painful thing as it is with non romance people. Instead it's OK, what book or topic in this genre we love so dearly is going to be the real connecting wire.<br /><br />Margaret, it was lovely. And it's still VERY much on my bucket list to sit and have a drink with YOU in a bar *grin*. I'm aiming for next year. The broken leg & sons wedding delayed my plans, but only for a year I hope.<br /><br />Meghan, as GORGEOS as the train trip was this time of year, I couldn't help but think in the fall it must be breathtaking. All those mountains and all those trees. I'm thinking it would give me goosebumps!!Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-44586753760779094692011-07-03T15:44:47.281-04:002011-07-03T15:44:47.281-04:00Lorraine, yes she does and I can hardly wait to re...Lorraine, yes she does and I can hardly wait to read it either!! Her last few have been RS and while I adore them too, I'm just ready for the next in her MacKinnon series.<br /><br />DL. I had a grand time. Though now I long to get home. I'm in a rest stop with WiFi at the moment, taking a break from the almost 9 hour drive home.<br />And there used to be Colonials published in the 90's but nearly as many now. And to be honest that really puzzles me as Americans have to be the most vocally patriotic people going!!! So the fact the stories based on the birth of their country aren't coming out our ears is a source of confusion to me.<br />When I was at my sister & her husbands, they had a glass with a Minute Man on it and I REALLY wanted that glass!!! :-)<br /><br />Marianna *curtesy*. Thank you. My Dad was the funniest man I ever knew & if I had to inherit something from him, I'm glad it was his sense of humor. I could listen to his stories for hours. I got his bushy eyebrows too though.

I can only think of mow much more I might have paid attention to in US history if more romances were set in that period. I seem to know a lot about the British peerage, but we we're never really quized on that...The Romance Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314401830803972260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-90303131605579910912011-07-01T20:12:54.128-04:002011-07-01T20:12:54.128-04:00It was great to put a name to a face.
