The best part of RT is spending time with favorite authors! I invited a group of historical authors to lunch to exchange information about the Historical Romance Retreat (link). Elizabeth Hoyt, Elizabeth Essex, and reader Anna attended last year ... and Anna Harrington, Janna MacGregor, Cathy Maxwell, Kate Pearce and reader Tamara are attending this year. Rounding out our table was my partner in crime, Kim Rocha, and Author RX founder, Mel Jolly. A lady never discusses the secrets she hears ...
Enter a Kaleidoscopic swirl of color and light at Avon's annual party at the RT Booklovers Convention, where special photo stations will be set up for readers to take pictures with their favorite Avon and William Morrow authors. There will be plenty of complimentary books and eBooks for attendees, as well as sweet reading surprises! As always, sweets will be served, and readers can raise a toast to romance as they mix and mingle at this prismatic Friday night party.
Appearing(s): Ilona Andrews, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Lenora Bell, Viola Carr, HelenKay Dimon, Megan Frampton, Alison Gaylin, Shelley Shepard Gray, Lorraine Heath, Beverly Jenkins, Laura Kaye, Cathy Maxwell, Charis Michaels, Julia Quinn, Alisha Rai, Lia Riley, and Karin Slaughter.
I had just enough time to change for the RT Awards ceremony cohosted by actress-turned-author Meg Tilly and former Mr Romance Mark Johnson. Meg was wonderful - she truly loves romance books! I sat next to Lenora Bell who had not eaten ... so I shared my grapes. I cheered for Lenora, HelenKay Dimon, Lorraine Heath, Cathy Maxwell, and many more.
For this week of recaps, I am giving away a sampling of books and swag from RT. To enter the giveaway,
