I'm so excited to be going down to New Orleans in October to attend the first annual Gay Romance Literature, affectionately known as GayRomLit,  retreat weekend. It looks like it's going to be a blast, and I'm using it as an incentive to get a new story out so that I have something interesting to talk about! I'm attending as the "famous" author that I am *snort* even though I'm also an avid fan of pretty much every other author who will be there. Check it out here:  http://www.gayromlit.com/ and come join us! It's gonna be amazing, I think.  I've signed up for just about everything, including the men's evening on Thursday night. I mean, look who's going to be there! What fan in his/her right mind wouldn't want to be? LOL

I've actually had fun this winter attending several events where Dreamspinner has had a table, like BishieCon in St. Louis, the sci-fi con in Boston in January, and the most fun? Rainbow Book Fair in NYC at the end of March. There were 10 of us from Dreamspinner Press at the single table, as most of us used it as an excuse to meet other authors. We were squished around the table trying to engage people so that we could sell books, but most of us concentrated on each other. Who have I met over the winter?

Andrew Grey
Scotty Cade
Zahra Owens (who came to NYC from Belgium for the weekend)
Clare London (who also came to NYC from London)
Felicitas Ivey
Pearl Love
Jeff Erno
Lori Toland
Rowan McAllister
Damon Suede
Carolyn Levine Topol
Julie Lynn Hayes
Jamie Fessenden
Sullivan Wheeler
Trina Land
Ariel Tachna
Nicki Bennett

And I apologize to those I've missed in my list. Of course we all get along amazingly well because we're all interested in the same things. The Dreamspinner Press authors are very active in our Yahoo! group and we have lots of fun, so it's not surprising that the togetherness extends to when we're gathered in person.

Even with all this fun and travel, I've still been writing. An overview of my works in progress next time. Have a great weekend, everyone!
