I AM SO GOING TO ORLANDO!

Oxygen tanks be damned.  I can’t miss anything like this again.

anything81 —I bet more than 81 anythings happened!

Wow, you managed to write a delicately phrased column worthy of any regency society rag.  Next time can you give more clues like, Ms. F____ or publisher O____ so that way we can really pretend we’re reading a regency paper?  HA HA

So let me get this right, the daughter of one author found the lost camera of the daughter of another and decided to leave some pictures of her va-jay-jay as a parting prize on the memory card.  May I ask how old these women are, high school?

You can’t make this stuff up….

I know we all love fiction, but seriously, sometimes the truth just can’t be beat.

I…

have no words.

Really. None.

She took v-pics with SOMEONE ELSE’S CAMERA? I mean, taking them at all is kind of weird, I suppose, but i know that when I find a random camera, my first inclination is not to get up close and really, really personal with it. (Wish I had any idea who the people in question were.)

Also, best line here? And then it got interesting.

I get that the guy’s roommate was freaked, but what about the staffer? Was she okay? I’d be scared to death if some random guy got into my hotel room to “serenade” me.

Coming in 2009:
Dark Cavern:

” He picked up the lost camera, as he scrolled through the pictures he saw in vivid colors an oddly groomed set of lady lips. His body reacted, his fangs shot out, his lifemate (or one part of her) found at last!
He picked up his massive erection, tossed it over his shoulder and set off on the most important spelunking quest of his life”

Wow. More drama than a Sorority date party! It might make a great setting for a romantic comedy novel. :) man-titty, drama queens, stalkers and vampire balls, who could ask for anything more?

*making icky face*

Well…that’s just so…wow.

I’m with Chrissy, it definitely does make Orlando sound tempting.

SNORT.

I had my camera “borrowed” at a frat party once, and had it returned with photos of someone’s manly-bits. I never did find out whose. It seems like a surprising prank for a girl to do though, especially one who is in attendance with her mother. the horror!

God help me, rebyj, but I think you may be on to something.  I can just see the Ellora’s Cave story now: “Cinderella: An Erotic Retelling”.  It has possibilities, no?

I had my camera “borrowed” at a frat party once, and had it returned with photos of someone’s manly-bits.

See?  It can be written for either gender!

You know, I only lost a camera ONCE.  It was when I was teaching at this summer program for gifted kids.

I got it back after findig it in the lost and found at the end of that summer, put it away, and forgot about it.  This was in the pre-digital days.  Around November I remembered it and sent the film off.  Came back with five or six shots at the end of the roll of my absolute FAVORITE kids and co-workers holding a sign that said “whose camerea is this?” and doing adorable goofy poses.  I still have that photo scrapbook, too.

I think, however, had I found a strange vajayjay on there I might have wigged.  (And thanked my maker it wasn’t mine.)

Authors Gone Wild—PA 2008!!

Reby’s comment made me hoot out loud. Literally hoot. Woke the dog up and everything. The photo stunt was very…Paris Hilton-y. But, y’know, nawt hawt. At awl.

The daughter took it upon herself in Reckless fashion to take pictures of her lovely lady lumps

I’m…uh… stunned speechless.  Not an easy task.

telling the owner of those now-very-interesting pictures to mind her own business

Wait, lemme get this right.  This certain somebody took pictures of her lady parts, returned the camera somehow and then expected the owner of the violated camera to “mind her own business”?  As in what, don’t tell mommy on me?

I had my camera “borrowed” at a frat party once, and had it returned with photos of someone’s manly-bits.

Ya have to be careful to monitor your camera around Army guys, too.  Just sayin’.

I’ll have to tell my daughters to hop-to and look alive. Baby Girl is so boring, helping out at signings and making nice with my writer buddies.

Just out of curiousity, how did the girl who took the picture of her va-jay-jay get caught?  I mean how was her va-jay-jay identifiable?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh, so that’s what the big fight was about.  I thought people were just driven into a frenzy by the overabundance of free soft-pretzels.

Pictures of HER Va-Ja-Ja and SHE"S insulted that the camera’s owner didn’t “mind her own business?” WTF??

I’m like Bonnie L…give me some initials to play guessing games with!

Wow.  I was at the party the last night and missed all of that drama!  But, there was some extra drama with the cover model, and that was just a very sad story all around.  I hope he gets the help he needs before something irreparable happens.

Five seconds on Amazon with your carefully seeded hints and I figured out whose daughter the mystery hoo-hoo belonged to, but the identity of the poor Carpathian daughter whose camera the weeping petals ended up on…? Still a mystery.

Man, and I thought Comic Con was full of drama!

omg, rebyj, I cackled out loud.  Seriously. Cackled!

Wow, who knew that things coud get that crazy at the RT con. It makes you curious how it will all go down next year.  Will there now be an ongoing feud between the two girls. Each year will it escalate? I do hope these girls are in high school, considering the immaturity of the action.  As a teacher, all I can think is… how long until that ends up on the internet?

spam word: appeared 31 Her vajay-jay appeared 31 times on the internet before her mom grounded her for life.

Really can’t imagine how anyone gets the impression that the romance writing world is tacky in any way…

I think you gave enough of a clue to figure out both authors. Interesting, I don’t know if your stories make me want to go or stay away.

And no one thought that the beaver-shooting daughter might be a love match for the serenading Romance stud?  Huh.

Sooo, brat child finds camera, takes adult pics of herself, returns said camera, then gets nasty with the now owner of her adult pics?  Ummm…hello, is the village missing an idiot?  A lot of people would feel an irresistable urge to post those pics somewhere.

Rebyj…luckily I’m to smart to drink beverages while reading this site, or I would have snorted it when I read your post.  Still laughing.

BTW… Sarah, apparently JC Wilder was also impressed with mancandy Rodney.

Okay. I’m pretty sure I know who the Carpathian writer is…And a Google/Amazon pretty much clued me as to the other mother. But the publishers….Dudette…wanna know… *teehee*

Actually…after all this, I’m wondering if I really want to be an author after all….I mean…shee-it. After all that day-am dramah and shennanigans…and hoohaws hanging out.

And RebyJ, you write it, we will ALL read it! Like Denni, I have also learned to keep liquids far from my face and keyboard when reading SBTB.

Spaminator: hear56 (Yeah…I hear it sneakin’ up on me)

Just saw on Liz Maverick and Marianne Mancusi’s blog a pic of the perp.

Just want to remind everyone, after you lose the Mr. Romance contest, there is a lot of adrenaline out there, a feeling of being lost, having to let go of your cover-models dreams.  Obviously, its enough to send someone over the edge.  Heehee.

And the camera drama centering around the royal families of uber-drama?  Awesome. I love events that are awesome in both their horrible-ness and their ridiculous-ness.  I hope the confrontations took place in costume, that could only make it better.  And perhaps someone could write a musical based on it since it took place on an dance floor. I’m not a writer, just an idea person.  Hmm?  Anyone?

I really think there needs to be a Christopher Guest movie made on an RT Convention. It wouldn’t even have to be exagerated for dramatic effect.

I’d heard the young woman who Beguiled the camera’s owner with her naughty bits was a cover model. Perhaps she was moonlighting? Auditioning?

Marianne- You are so right!  I can just imagine Parker Posey as a crazed fangirl.

Oh, Jennifer Crusie, I know you’ve given up the snark but please, please do a romance book involving at least one of these spectacles. You must, for the sake of humanity!

Princess of Fire, eh? That’s one of my major so-bad-it’s-good favourites from my teenybopper years. Not sure what it will be like the next time I reread it. (Hopefully, I won’t remember any of this by then.)

You know, it occurs to me that, in REBYJ’s story, the soul-hole-mate of the well-endowed vampire is not the owner of the camera, yet he would *assume* the soul-hole belonged to to the owner of the camera.  Imagine his surprise when, upon seducing the unsuspecting camera owner, it ends up being a case of mistaken vajaydentity.  Will the camera owner relent and tell the vampire whom the magical soul-hole belongs to or will she be unable to get past the long-standing feud between the families?

Sad waste of already stretched resources.
A 12 yo boy was shot and killed in Wilkinsburg.
A young woman was sexually assaulted on the CMU campus.
And what are police stuck doing? Monitoring brats who take naughty pictures on others cameras and crazy stalker models. It’s just sad.

Cue next year’s hotel charging extra to cover in house security, and everyone ends up paying the premium.

Wow! All that happened and NOBODY CALLED ME TO WATCH??? Ladies, how could you do that to one of the very very few thriller authors manly enough to come learn from the best writers in the biz—the romance authors! Sigh. Next year, I want text messages when the prizefights begin :-)

On a more serious note, thanks so much for treating me so well and kindly. The RT convention was great fun for this thriller boy, and I will return for more. Y’all bought ALL the copies of my Cut to the Bone crime thriller at the fair, too. That was icing on a very fine cake.

See you in Orlando.

LOL!! He could mesmerize the whole village and use his night vision and stealth skills to view the vajayjays to pick out the right one.

Good googily moogily.  That is way funny.

You just can’t make this shite up.

I wonder if we’re going to see the pic on the Internet any time soon.

mistaken vajaydentity

Good lord, Jody W., I think I broke something laughing at that!!!!

Wow, there’s some awesomeness in this story idea.

spamword: says52 Does not !  Says 49, and with a straight face!

I guess I should count myself lucky that when I lend my camera out, I only get it back with photos of random machinery and the hopeful question that surely I wouldn’t mind downloading the machinery photos from the camera and burning them on CD.

No strange genitalia so far, thank heavens.

Dang—and here I thought science fiction cons got wild. 

Well, waking up (fully clothed) in a bathtub after helping some Klingons put a goat in the hotel manager’s office is NOTHING compared to this.

I would not have enjoyed any of this.

God, I’m boring.

I wouldn’t have enjoyed it, either.

I was there and never noticed. Now that’s truly boring.

And my verification word is lost32. How appropriate!

I feel you, Nora. I think I would have been one of the clueless in my room reading a good book.

You might not have enjoyed it, but I bet I would have enjoyed your reaction.

Maybe not.  *shrug*  I can’t help it… when a bandwagon rolls by I shriek “ooh sparklies!  Can I sit with the clowns???”

my word is areas39

*crickets chirping*

Nope.  Nope.  *putting away 10 foot pole with solemn resolve*

I’m torn between fascination and prayer that the conference I’m going to this weekend will be much more sedate.

Liddy, I guess I’m just as clueless because I was there and saw none of the drama either although Friday night during Vampire party my friend pointed out a guy who kept circling the area we were in. I didn’t think anything of it until I read this blog. Turns out that was the guy. *sheesh* even when the wierdness is in my face I don’t notice. But I did find a lot of fascinating reads this week. *grin*

Sara, I was in my room during the Vampire Ball, getting seriously OCD with the clutter of giveaways. Then I read a bit. It was a pretty good book, too, picked up in the Goody Room that morning. Not sure which one it was, though, because I browsed several during the convention.

Eve, I skipped the Vamp Ball, which I am now quite happy to have missed. Glad you didn’t have an up-close-and-personal encounter with the off-kilter cover model.

The crazies aren’t always wearing neon signs proclaiming their affiliation.

Security is more of a challenge in a hotel under construction, with workers coming and going.

A friend of ours had what IMHO was a narrow brush with disaster. On Friday night, at about 11:30, there was a knock on her door. She looked through the peephole and saw a man standing too close to the door. He answered her challenge with, “Bellman.” She told him no one there had called and he left.

No one checks out of a hotel at midnight! AND she was in the last room at the end of the hallway, closest to the stairs, most distant from the elevator. If that ever happens to anyone here, I hope you call the bell station and report it. They’ll know if anyone on that floor called, and if not, that security should be alerted to locate and neutralize the perp.

Oh, so that’s what the big fight was about.  I thought people were just driven into a frenzy by the overabundance of free soft-pretzels.

There were soft pretzels? Man. I miss ALL the good stuff…

Just out of curiousity, how did the girl who took the picture of her va-jay-jay get caught?  I mean how was her va-jay-jay identifiable?  Inquiring minds want to know.

I think Michael Jackson has some experience with the CSI of personal junk.

“Soul-hole”—PERFECT!

This is all amazingly funny because I was not there.

If I had been, it wouldn’t be.

I’m going to go next year—to sell popcorn! With this kind of a show, you need snacks.

Figured out who the pub is…

As for the rest of it, I’m with Nora. I wouldn’t have liked any of that stuff. Though the goody room would be okay:)

Dang, Liddy.  That’s nerve-wracking.  Glad she knew what to do.

Oh, so that’s what the big fight was about.  I thought people were just driven into a frenzy by the overabundance of free soft-pretzels.

Jennifer, Maybe soft-pretzels could be the new term for vajayjay—although I think maybe it would work better for the manly bits.

I looked at the RT conference website, and they don’t have anything up about next year’s event yet.  Which hotel in Orlando will be hosting the conference? Could it be one of the Walt Disney World hotels?

My mind boggles thinking of how the Mouse security squad will deal with this sort of action ...

Susan/DC—I’ve never thought of Soft Pretzels in that light (manly bits). I will from now on. Snigger.

The last RT I went to (2001 or 2002) was very sedate. Now that I know these can be like Dragon*Con, I’ll be there next year. I love drama, as long as it doesn’t involve me.

I can just imagine the cops’ reaction. Priceless.

....RT…better than Reno 911.  ;-)

My friends and I unfortunately experienced a bit of that model’s crazy behavior Saturday night after the Dorchester party wound down. I’m glad his behavior was no secret, because I was debating whether or not I should contact RT and tell them about the bizarre way he acted. Guess I won’t need to bother, since they already won’t be inviting him back. I won’t get into how he acted, but lets just say it was odd enough that we soon abandoned our table and took our after party down to the lobby.

Photos of genitalia on someone else’s camera?  In Orlando, the cops do that!

Well, technically Winter Park, which is right next to Orlando, but still: cops.  cameras.  junk.  All the basic ingredients.

I can’t believe I get all this madness right in my backyard next year!  It’s… it’s like Christmas!

I would not have enjoyed any of this.

God, I’m boring.

Just put me in the boring corner too.  I’ve been to RT.  Three times, once as an unpubbed and twice as a pubbed and other than the people watching (at my first one I saw a seventy-something granny type pinch a cover model’s ass in plain view of God and everyone) it just doesn’t have that much to offer to me because I just don’t dig elaborate costume things night after night.  That said, however, the people watching is prety incomparable. 

I think with it next year in Orlando, which is only a couple of hours from me, I may go, stay at a nearby hotel, and do the visiting thing with friends when the spirit moves and the rest of the time, do some quality shopping at the outlet malls.  *g*

(Ha, and verification word is “decided77”)

Not quite right about the cover model. I have the story straight from two eyewitnesses!
And the real one is even more extreme than this. As far as I know, no staff member was involved.

apparently JC Wilder was also impressed with mancandy Rodney.

I love Rodney. Talk about a class act, and a genuine sweetheart. I fought Sahara Kelly over him at the Faery Ball. Should have seen the wing-pulling. But I won.

Heh, heh, heh.

I didn’t see any of the weird stuff happening. I keep hearing the oddest things, but damned if I saw anything myself. Maybe it was due to the butterscotch martinis.

I’m going to go next year—to sell popcorn! With this kind of a show, you need snacks.

There was already free popcorn.  Second year in a row there was free popcorn at the Dorchester party, actually.

I was eating some whilst watching the kerfluffle.

And I thought moving was difficult. Nobody has stolen my camera yet to take pictures of their ladyparts, nor have any weirdos shown up (that I’m not related to).

And perhaps someone could write a musical based on it since it took place on an dance floor.

I would suggest Bollywood but perhaps the source of the conflict is too risque for them.

Wow - I’d say I missed out, but this is the sort of thing I don’t mind missing up close and personal.  *shudder*

Nora had a romance convention take place in her book Finding the Dream but it was more incidental to the plot than the actual story. This report does sound much more Jennifer Crusie-esque.

Nora sez:

I would not have enjoyed any of this.

God, I’m boring.

Poor Nora - I guess you’ve pretty much had more than your share of the unstable.

Aberrant behaviour fascinates me,... from a safe distance.  I’d've been there, popcorn and notebook at hand, and phasers set on ‘keep the hell away, ‘cause I don’t know where you’ve been’. 

parts86 - nope, not touching that one, there’s just no challenge.

Anyone who leaves snappers on my camera deserves to be put up on the internet for all and sundry to enjoy. Would be a lesson not soon forgotten for Young Ms. Carpathian.

Psycho Mr. Romances? How amazing.  Can one get to Orlando on an “As Guest”?? I’ll pay airfares. *LOL*

Nora had a romance convention take place in her book Finding the Dream but it was more incidental to the plot than the actual story. This report does sound much more Jennifer Crusie-esque.

Noo…we all know it’s Plummish.  I can see Lula and Grandma up there with the cover models, can’t you?

Y’know, I think I might just have to rob a bank and come next year.  Silly costumes and catfights—delicious.  I should have been a gay man, I swear.

(my spamfilter: feel27.  27 cover models?  Really?  Maybe I will…)

Thanks for sharing because you made me glad I missed it, especially on top of all the horror stories about the construction going on. An event to be missed for sure.

RE: the bellman… as far as I know, that actually *was* a bellman… somehow hotel staff got it in their heads that those little maroon gift bags absolutely *had* to be delivered that night, in person, and started knocking and waking people up around midnight.  To deliver a book.  And a cookie.  Several people I spoke to called right down to the front desk and got them to stop the madness.

That being said, I would’ve been freaked right the shit out if he’d gotten to my room.

An event to be missed for sure.

Not true at all! Sure, a couple bad apples make for good blogging and hotel construction is never pretty, but don’t think for one second that RT wasn’t an amazing conference. All those readers and booksellers, joyfully celebrating the romance genre—it was a beautiful thing. The booksigning was amazing - with tons of locals from Pittsburgh stopping by and people from all over the world wheeling suitcases full of books, excited to meet their favorite authors in person. The workshops were entertaining and informative. The parties were fun. The costumes were to die for. The band, The Impalers, rocked the house. Most of the cover models were complete gentlemen—sweet and gracious. Tons of money for charity was raised. Authors were honored with awards. Agents and editors requested new work (A friend of mine was over the moon when an editor at St. Martin’s liked her idea so much she took her to lunch!)

Not saying that RT will be everyone’s cup of tea, but I don’t want the wonderful things that happened to be overshadowed by a few scandals. I was there, video blogging the whole event, and I didn’t see or hear any of this until I got back to New York. All I saw was an amazing group of enthusiastic women (and a few men!) letting their hair down and celebrating the genre we all love.

One one Kasey Michaels’ Maggie books took place at a romance convention…Maggie By the Book. I remember cracking up at her description of the various dramas and the fact that Alex entered the cover model contest.  Wow, I’m behind on those books.

*makes note never to take daughter to RT*

I guess we missed all the good stuff, although we tended to spend about 10 or 15 minutes dancing at the parties and hung out in the bar instead.

Oh we did see the paramedics arrive though - gave up our elevator for them.

It’s a shame that some of the cover models spoiled it for the rest.  I can say that we were all impressed with Fred - second year in a row that he has been polite, fully clothed, and a delight to talk to.

Not true at all! Sure, a couple bad apples make for good blogging and hotel construction is never pretty, but don’t think for one second that RT wasn’t an amazing conference. All those readers and booksellers, joyfully celebrating the romance genre—it was a beautiful thing.

Marianne, I think you said it well.

A caution should be placed on this particular entry: “Don’t EVEN attempt to read while uncaffiendated.” Until I got to the comments, I thought the “lovely lumps” referred to “boobs.” Yeah, really I did, because why-oh-why, unless you’re Paris Hilton, would you want anyone to see pictures of your va-jay-jay?

I’ll just go sit on the boring bleacher and drown myself in a big ol’ steaming mug of caffiend…

security should be alerted to locate and neutralize the perp.

Am I the only one who read that as permanently neutralizing?  And then I giggled at the idea of security guards doing wet work.  I’m an awful person.

Maybe soft-pretzels could be the new term for vajayjay—although I think maybe it would work better for the manly bits

Only if they’re twisted up with thwarted lust.

Would be a lesson not soon forgotten for Young Ms. Carpathian.

I’m pretty sure Young Ms. Carpathian was the victim in the situation.  Unless you mean a lesson in how to get revenge, in which case please carry on.

I missed a lot of the drama that happened at RT and while I had a few downers aside from the hotel’s mess, I don’t regret going at all.
Even though the frickin hotel exacerbated my asthma and I’m back on maintenance meds for it, I had a lot of fun. 

It was great hanging out with readers and with writing friends I only get to see once an age.  I can say I’m glad I didn’t miss it.

Sounds like some folks had an… err… interesting time.

What I’m really interested in though, is how the eBook signing (that was this years RT right?) went versus the main Sat signing. Anyone there have any comments?

Does anyone know the dates for RT in Orlando?

For those of you who’d like to catch some of the fun that went on at RT and see lots of pics and vids, check out these blogs.

Does anyone know the dates for RT in Orlando?

April 22 to 26, 2009
Wyndham Orlando Resort

The 22nd is my dh’s birthday (which happens to be today, too.) Maybe I’ll take him & the boys to Orlando and they can play while I play!

The details of the camera story are incorrect.  No one’s daughter took any pictures of herself.  I can only hope this story won’t be embellished and repeated any more than it has been - it’s extremely distressing to see something completely false and defamatory spread about a teenage girl.  Just imagine for a moment if someone were smearing your daughter, or sister, or friend - or you - on the Internet.

I love gossip as much as anyone, but this is just wrong.  As women, we should be defending young women, not tearing them down with false rumors.

You realize that a camera commercial is playing right now, featuring Ashton Kuchter’s “lost” digital camera, where the party girls steal it and photo hijinks ensue?

Speaking of cover models, Liz and I just posted the last day of the Romantic Times convention video blog…including much video footage of the Mr. Romances in question. So take a look, if you’re so inclined…

After all, still photos can’t capture the true…um, spirit?...of this event. :)

Darn, won’t let me embed in comments. You can find it here:
www.rebelsofromance.com

Opps, Marrianne broke the new, Purdy SBTB site…

I is at work…

... breaking ur blog

And sb sarah sez: I is on blackberry, fixin mah blog.

Just an FYI—I was heartbroken to be told by a gal at RD that the alleged vajayjay was actually a—errr—reconstructed???—armpit of one of the models and that the incident was supposed to be a joke.  Now I want my man-unit to lay really still while I experiment.  He’s having none of it.

Also… I do freelance semi-pro (lol) photography.  A $2000 camera isn’t so shocking, but as a sling along at an event like this?  It’s possible, but I think somebody is being silly with the price inflation here. 

If she DID pay that much I need to chat with her about spending irresponsibly.

Now I want my man-unit to lay really still while I experiment.  He’s having none of it.

Okay, this is actually a fetish I discovered while perusing the Victorian erotic biography My Secret Life. He (the author) is very into armpits, which is, actually quite disgusting.

ARMPITS?

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

VW: must99   Must NOT at all!

I bet that the financial planning conference I’m going to next week won’t be nearly as interesting.  Unfortunately.

Suzy Orman’s armpit just can’t hold up, m’fraid.

Did I get anywhere close to spelling her name correctly?  I’d google her but she freaks me out and I don’ wanna’.

My mind boggles thinking of how the Mouse security squad will deal with this sort of action ...

They’d probably smile and say…

“Have a Magical Day!”

*sigh*

I’m an ex-mouse.  LOL

Sigh. From vajaydentities to arm pit collages. I’m disappointed but more relieved that the girl didn’t misinterpret that South Park Paris Hilton episode. Although, I have to say you play around with making that kind of dirty joke you should expect the worst and not get all self-righteous about sisterhood admires your artistic skills. :P

Nora had a romance convention take place in her book Finding the Dream but it was more incidental to the plot than the actual story. This report does sound much more Jennifer Crusie-esque.

Jenyfer Mathews

Do you see Crusie? It’s all you, baby. I would buy a million copies if you wrote this into one of your books. (Details changed to protect the err…innocent of course.)

I have a WIP about an RT type convention on the back burner. Maybe it is time to resurrect it given all these great ideas. Except no one would ever believe any of it. I am glad to see that the original story wasn’t quite true even though the girls behavior was pretty silly.

My daughter was at the convention shooting video for a couple projects she has in mind. She also got footage of me doing stuff, and then would go fetch the occasional vodka on the rocks for me.

That’s what a well-mannered minion should do. I will invite her back.

I just wonder what we would have to talk about if Ms. Carpathian had not been accosted on the dance floor? I didn’t even know photos were involved until they started yelling at Ms. Carpathian about them. Sometimes we damage ourselves more than anyone else ever could.

Regardless, if they were upset that Ms. Carpathian didn’t like those kind of pictures on her camera they should have deleted them. And if you don’t want it talked about, try having your confrontations in private instead of in the middle of a party where others can hear you.

Just popping in to say thanks for the Orlando RT dates.  I may have a family conflict that weekend, otherwise I’ll plan to be there.

:Wisely nods:

Janet/Cricket, you’re absolutely right. We couldn’t make this shit up.

Darlene Marshall, dayum, woman, how’ve you been? Long time, no hear. Unless you’re a different Darlene Marshall than the one who was once published at DU/LTDBooks, in which case please ignore me. But if that’s the case, I see from your website that you both wrote kick-ass books called Pirate’s Price. That’s simply too much of a coincidence!

VW: century53   Only off by 47!

Yes, Liddy, same Darlene.  Dang, DU was so long ago that I still have copies of my first ebook, issued on floppy diskettes!

Thanks for the shout out, and it’s good to see your pixels again!
