(View entire post here)Well, I'm back from my thirteenth Romance Writers of America national convention, and what a fine year it was! As always, I participated in meetings with many of The Knight Agency's clients (my job when not writing about the Spartans), and I also signed my recent NAL "Gods of Midnight" novels, Red Fire and Red Kiss during the Wednesday night literacy signing. One fun fact: every year when I sign at RWA, I am seated next to Berkley author Angela Knight, who is as lovely as she is talented. It was fun getting to catch up with her while we signed. Angela also told me about a terrific Indian restaurant down the street, which proves at RWA it's good to pool your resources.
From my first few moments at the conference, I noticed a distinct difference over previous years: the huge impact of Twitter. Many a new online friend introduced themselves to me over the course of the five days, and I will say there's such a cool sense of camaraderie to personally meeting someone from your online life. I had to laugh when I checked my twitter account and a friend said, "That red necklace looks great on you." It was one of those "the phone call is coming from inside the house!" moments, only without the horror flick element!
