RT 2008: The last day… and a bit of model madness

by TGTBTU's "Author on the Scene" Lynne C

My last RT report I'm staying the extra night in the hope of getting a good night's sleep and a fresh start in the morning. New York, here I come! I'm staying a few days at the kind invitation of Katherine Falk before I go home to Blighty.

RT 2008: And so to the cover model contest!

The Model Contest: Romance Style...
by Lynne Connolly

And so to the final full day. The book signing day! I'm not signing at the big fair this year, so I had a wonderful time wandering around the packed ballroom and talking to some of my heroines, squeeing at the likes of Mary Jo Putney and Pat Rice, and buying books. Just what I need. All those romance authors in one room, and they all got on like crazy, lots of chatting and hugging. Women together are real bitches. So not.

RT 2008: Go for the Burn!

Day Four: Go for the Burn...by LynneC

We're all getting stir crazy here. Some great sessions and some not so great today. This morning a very useful and informative session on Series Romance after a wholly enjoyable Ellora's Cave private brunch. We got a star of our very own and a really cool bag with lots of pockets. I love me some pockets.

It did go a little silent around us. They were either listening or making plans.

RT 2008: And on the third day….

by TGTBTU's "Author on the Scene" Lynne C

The internet here is a bit hit and miss. Hundreds of people descending on a hotel and instantaneously plugging in their laptops and logging on will do that. So I'm online when I can. Excitement and exhaustion is setting in wholesale.

RT 2008: Romantic Times Day Two

by Lynne Connolly, TGTBTU's Author on the Spot at RT

Wednesday. The day started with bag stuffing. Lots of laughter as we got the Ellora's Cave bags ready for tonight. Christine McKay, who did a lot of Not Sock Puppets (hint – it doesn't go on your feet, but it rhymes) kindly did us some duckie puppets – I'll try to take a photo once I can get my camera to work. Just for us ducks!
