| "This old thing!" Even guinea pigs make an effort at a festival in Peru. |
I’ll be in Anaheim
Given the
solitary nature of a writer’s life it’s a lot of fun to suddenly care about
clothes, shoes and make-up again though usually there’s a sudden, desperate
foray to stores to buy something ‘good.’
I have a
friend who only wears good clothes and I admire her immensely. I seem to be
forever saving my good clothes for those increasingly rare occasions where I
might need to look smart, only to find out that outfit either no longer fits or
has gone out of fashion.
I love the
idea of looking fabulous all the time but the effort to do so…not so much. And
the moment the weather turns cold out come the Ugg boots, the jeans, the men’s
sweaters and if need be, a woollen beanie. And then I write about romance…
But it’s
out of the batcave this week. One of the highlights for me is the opportunity
to stalk play fangirl
over authors who inspire me with their work.
Joanna Bourne, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Robyn Carr,
Nalini Singh, Julie Ann Long…these and more will be selling and autographing at
the Anaheim Convention
Center 5pm and 8pm , all
proceeds going to literacy. I’ll be signing too as will the following
Superromance authors:
Kathy Altman, Beth
Andrews, Rogenna Brewer, Molly O’Keefe, Cathryn Parry, Tara Taylor Quinn, Liz
Talley, Kimberly Van Meter, Jeannie Watt, Abby
Gaines, Stephanie Doyle, Tracey Deebs (aka Tracy Wolff) and Lenora Worth
Here’s a link with all the details
If you’re local come join the party! You don’t even have
to wear something ‘good.’

Sounds brilliant!!
I have the same problem with clothes :) I wear shorts and t-shirts to work all the time... then when I have a meeting I frantically look for something nice that still fits!
Sounds like you're going to have a fun time at the signing and catching up with people :)
great :)
Have a marvelous time! I wish I could be there.
The only time I need good clothes are for weddings and funerals. You can't wear the same thing to both events.
PS ~ Love the guinea pig. Did you just find it by luck?
I've traveld in Peru before and I enjoyed it.
Cute picture of the dressed up guinea pig. You are aware that the Peruvians eat guinea pigs?
Thanks for giving me one reason to be glad I'm not at RWA. Having to dress up. Most of my clothes are the kind that can sit in the dryer for days before I restart it to take out the wrinkles. Once a year I get to dress up for the annual charity ball (although some years they have a casual theme, like country rock) and I get to wear pretty shoes.
I take it back, I wish I was there. I do try to dress nicely for my local RWA meetings (meaning dressy jeans or capris and a cute top). The one time I wore a skirt I left my phone at home and felt both lost and free without it.
I wasn't envious about not attending this year, but now I am! I hope someone is taking pictures!
A little quiet here with everyone at the grand affair. Wish I were there. Hope you have a Super time.
