Attending the
Romance Writers of America's National Convention in San Francisco (July 30-August 2
nd) will be
Terri Clark, Teri Brown,
Brooke Taylor, and
Regina Scott! All will be
participating in the annual “Readers for Life” Literacy Autographing, where over 450 romance-fiction authors will be signing romance books donated by publishers. The signing is open to the public an proceeds of the sales go to literacy charities, so make sure you come by and meet the all the authors!
Regina Scott provides some insight into the Romance Writers of America National Conference held every July:
One of my must-go conferences is the national conference for Romance Writers of America. I’ll be there this year in San Francisco with several other members of the class, including Teri Brown, Terri Clark, and Brooke Taylor. The literacy signing Wednesday afternoon is amazing: over 400
authors packed cheek-to-cheek in a ballroom, madly schmoozing with fans and autographing our books for charity. But my favorite part of the conference is a little-known event called the Beau
Monde Soiree. The Beau
Monde is the chapter of
RWA focused on writing about the Regency period. Wednesday evening after the literacy signing, we gather for period dancing, period card games (and gambling with chocolate coins), exceptional food, and excellent conversation. Many members come in costume. Because it’s a bit difficult to get into the dance moves when everyone dancing is generally female, I decided to come in costume as the “girl dressed like a guy” made famous in romance and historical novels. Thus, Sir Reginald Scott was born. The only problem is that he’s more popular than I am! Now everyone who sees me on Wednesday asks, “So, is Sir Reginald coming tonight?” But at least I get my pick of dance partners, including cool gals like Avon romance author Shirley
Karr and
Kensington romance author
Nonnie St. George.
Isn't Sir Reginald Scott handsome!

I am so excited about Mickey Edwards and Judith Luna’s articles today that I almost don’t want to post my links of the week. I want you to stay on the blog and read all the great content we had this week. Seriously, how often do I get to post Philip Pullman, John L. Esposito and Patricia Aufderheide in one week! Okay, enough gloating. Links are below but please think twice before clicking away.
Can you help the New Yorker redesign Eustace Tilley?
Will you watch the Golden Globes press conference?
Gloria Steinem’s now famous Hillary crying op-ed. Slate’s snarky response. (more…)

Can't come - don't belong. But, I will be sending good thoughts your way!
I just read the DearAuthor.com review for Butterfly Tatto. Wow! Sounds like an amazing read.
Excerpted review quotes below:
( http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2009/04/20/review-butterfly-tattoo-by-deirdre-knight/ )
"I’ve thought a lot about this book since I read the last chapter. I felt like I knew these people who live out in Southern California. They were as real to me as my neighbors and I knew them more intimately than some of my closest friends. My throat even feels a little tight as I write out this review because I keep recycling some of the lines and moments of the story in my head."
"Let me state the obvious. I’m a fairly traditional romance reader. I’m not adventurous like Jayne. It’s hard for me to move outside my comfort zone . But this is a rare and different gem. It is a story I’ll treasure and remember. I hope that even if it does not net you significant financial rewards that you’ll keep writing these stories. There is an audience for it. I know there is."
Wonderful work, Deidre!
Thanks, Karin! We'll catch up soon. :) And, SoulIlumination, thanks for posting that excerpt from the Dear Author review!! I love that book (Butterfly Tattoo) so very much. Thanks for plugging it. hugs!
