Dead Dog Tired

I can see that the blog time is wrong and will change that. I also have realized that I forgot to post an afternoon review. Many apologies. It’s frenetic here and I doubt that many reviews will be going up this week. I hope you’ll understand. I got back to the room at 8:48 and(…)

Press Room

Press Room

Sybil and I went to the press room, but there is no internet access there so I won’t be blogging from the press room. There was a table with many books. Our credentials were checked, though, when we wandered over to the free book section. We took a few, but there was only one or(…)

RWA Change for Publisher Recognition

3. The Board updated the definition of Subsidy Publisher or Vanity Publisher to: any publisher that publishes books in which the author participates in the cost of production or distribution in any manner, including publisher assessment of a fee or other costs for editing and/or distribution. This definition includes publishers who withhold or seek full(…)

Now finally leaving lunch. Going back to post pictures. I’m back now. Lobby of the hotel. And escalator. But then, that would be stating the obvious. Off to go to the goody room for free books. Send to Kindle

Wednesday, Day 1 of the RWA Convention

We are up, showered and ready to volunteer at the literacy signing. This morning, Sybil (The Good, The Bad, The Unread), and I will be helping set up the literacy signing that takes place this evening at 5:30 pm. Last night, during the lobby talk with Sue G, Tina T, Brooke and Erin, I was(…)

The Long Flight There

My flight was delayed. First by bad weather in Chicago and then bad weather in Dallas. On the departure tarmac, we waited while the captain rebooted the system because the defroster wasn’t working. I know it sounds crazy, but inside I thought, its summer, do we really need a defroster? I was getting increasingly fidgety,(…)

Books to Bring

I originally packed 10 books to bring but there will be so many books given away at the convention, it makes sense to only bring one or two. Determining a plane read can be very difficult as you are not sure what mood you’ll be in. So many of my ARCs are paper copies so(…)
