It's day 4. RWA is nearing it's end. :( While I do miss my kiddies and sleeping in my own bed, it will be a little sad when it's over. But that's a post for another day! Today we talk about my latest adventures.
I was feeling MUCH better today, thank goodness. I kicked off my day with another book signing session. There I got to meet and talk to both Alisha Rai and Beverly Jenkins!!! You know you see these amazing women on Twitter, sometimes shyly interact with them, but to meet them in person...AMAZING!!!!
I also had another Twitter friend sighting in DA Henneman! She had a table set up at the Indie signing event and all her beautiful books were on display! I also ran into Gemma Snow and she was so much fun to talk to in person. When you spend so much time talking to people, sometimes daily, and then to meet them in person, such a great feeling!
I got so many books y'all!! So, SO, SO many and I'm very excited. But they all fit in my carry-on as planned so WOOT!!! No shipping required.
They also had a very cool event called Industry Marketplace. A room full of editors and agents that you could sit and talk to. A little more low key than the speed pitch events and for a person like me that has a hard time with talking to the industry professionals, it was a very low key/low stress environment.
It worked out and I actually had an editor from one of the publishing houses ask me to send over a chapter of Anything Once. Not sure if it'll go anywhere, but can't hurt to try right?
It was a good day. I am thoroughly enjoying my experience here.
Until next time
