**Wanna know something cool?!? The Conference was partly sponsored by Avon, my publisher. A thumb drive was part of the registration package. On that driver were four sample pieces of work...one was MINE and the other was my fellow SFARWA member and conference roomie, Rachael Herron! How sweet is that?!?
Me, in front of the Harper Collins office:
*I was sooo nervous for the Avon sponsored Digital Day, can you tell? I'm uber-glad Rachael was nice enough to come with me and show me the ropes. The Digital Day was great. I met everyone from the editors, to the marketing team, to the cover artist who designed my FABULOUS cover, to other lovely Avon authors. It couldn't have gone better.
Holding up my t-shirt at the Avon Signing:
**Wasn't that sweet of them to print it up?!? Totally made my morning. Can't wait to be a part of the signing next year!
Avon Author Spotlight:
*Wanna know the coolest thing about the spotlight? Seeing my cover on the bigscreen. Hearing my wonderful editor, Esi, gush about the book. It feels amazing to know that someone loves my work as much as I do. Oh, and hearing the crowd ooh and aah over the cover and blurb wasn't too bad of a feeling, either. *wink
A little hole in the wall Italian restaurant my roomies found on the last day of the conference:
*It was the BEST Italian food...
...but the company made it better:
*That's A.J., Rachael and me. They seriously made the trip the AWESOME experience it was. We got along so well--it's too easy to LOVE them--that every night I laughed till I cried. I'm gonna miss those slumber-party nights...
The LOOT I ended up taking home:
*Forty-eight signed books in all. $374 worth of top-notch reading material for a $25 checked bag fee. Not too bad, eh? My TBR pile is enormous. Can't wait to dig in.
More to come tomorrow...
