Well I’m home! Sorry it took me awhile to post, but I’m still recovering. What a trip! It was fun, it was educational, it was political (let’s not even go there ;), but overall it was just fabulous!
I just have to say before I get to the post part, The Pirate’s Booty has gone from #3 on Fictionwise erotic to #2 in just a couple days!!! Woot! *Doing a little dance*
Back to conference wrap up.
Well, I spent a good amount of time with the Romance Divas, though sadly I must confess that I did not go to transvestite karaoke with them. I stayed in the bar and networked with authors. Basically, any of the wild crazy things the Divas did I didn’t do. Yes, I was a bit more boring this trip, but my keyword all week was network! And everyone knows the place to be is the hotel bar. I had a couple of semi wild moments, but not too bad.
I met a ton of people for the first time, though it seemed like I already knew them (many I know from writing communities and the blogosphere). I got up the courage to introduce myself to agents and editors. It was just a great, successful time!
Oh, and I’m doing the Seventy Days of Sweat (see side bar image of sexy Sven). I’m finishing a contemporary romance, and writing a novella to enter into the Brava contest. Fun, fun!
You know, let’s just put up a slide show of Dallas!
Oh I love this!!! Thanks for sharing Shelli.
Oh, thank you for sharing the pics, Shelli!!! Love them! I recognize most (not all) of the faces this year, too! So glad you all had fun!
Congrats on your contest win, too!
You’re a SUPERSTAR!!!!
Nice Shell!
It was great meeting you at conference. Divas do Dallas was a blast, someone will have to come up with something equally cheesy for SF next year.
and CONGRATS on your awesome award!
YAY!
Congratulations on the win Shelli, I’m so excited for you! It was great to see you in Dallas although I wish I had been able to hang out with you some. I just joined the Romance Divas, so maybe next year.
Great pics. Thanks for sharing.
I love your slide show - it makes me want to hug and kiss you. And then swig a few fruity drinks with you. Hee hee hee…
I need to steal some of those pics!
Great pics Shel!!!

Thanks for sharing, I loved looking at the photos! Is that Jacquie Rogers in #50?
Thanks for sharing these Shelli! I feel so lucky to be part of the slide show!! The Diva dinner was great fun. Wish I’d had more time to hang with them too, but I was also being a good girl….mostly

I love the slideshow, Shelli! It’s great seeing all the faces and I even recognize some of them. I’m sure all the networking will pay off. Congrats on both your win and your highranking seller. That’s so cool!
It looks like you had a GREAT time!
Great job on your ranking! And good luck on the writing ‘Sven Says Sweat’!

Contrats on the Booty, you know I still don’t have that one… hum.. maybe you’ll be number one sooner than you think! *grins*
WTG on the Stroke of Midnight entry, that’s fab!
Good luck, finding the groove again!
