This, that and the other thing
September 21, 2007
Normally on Fridays I do Your Turn where I say what I've read for the week and then let you all tell me what's held your interest (or not) during the week. But since I've already done that earlier, I thought I'd still let you get your two cents in, while I mention some other things going on. So feel free to list your reads in the comments.
I tend to get a lot of emails letting me know what's going on and I really appreciate it, because I can't believe how much I miss (story of my life...a day late and a dollar short). So, I thought I share some news, notes and high fives for those of you, like me, who need to know everything about anything. But, keep in mind, if it gets to be too much, I'll get in as much as I can...no promises. I especially lean toward the "short and sweet" approach.
First, a high five to author Karen Rose who sent me an email at 1:41 am to let me know that Die For Me is now a New York Times bestseller!! (of course, I was still on the computer at that time, so I could congratulate her right away). I met Karen on the Authors at Sea cruise and she offered the most amazing classes in sign language (with the assistance of her delightful husband). It was SRO.
Next, a high five to Dorchester Publishing for receiving the Publisher of the Year Award from the NYC chapter of RWA. Dorchester also published Savage Skies, the 100th romance novel of author Cassie Edwards, which is currently on the New York Times bestseller list for the week of September 23. (so a separate high five for Cassie...100, wow...I almost feel like Al Roker should be announcing this). Thanks for letting me know Erin.
Atlanta is the setting for the Moonlight and Magnolia's Conference September 28-30 presented by the Georgia Romance Writers. This is their 25th Anniversary so if you're in the area, a Book Fair and Signing will be held on Saturday. From what I hear, Dianna Love Snell is doing an amazing job of coordinating this event. Happy Anniversary to you Southern Belles!
And, just because JoAnn Ross has been such a great commenter on this blog (and she sent me the link), I'd like to present the trailer to her new book, Freefall coming out in February. The popcorn's on me!
Bottom line: Great...now I've got that Tom Petty song, Free Fallin' stuck in my head. I hate it when that happens.
