RT is over and I had a great time!

Whew. I have now been to my first RT Booklovers Convention, and I tellya, it won’t be my last. I had a fantastic time, met a large number of the people I stalk on Twitter, as well as a fair number of those who stalk me, had my rock star moment when I collected the RT Award (Reviewer’s Choice for Erotic Romance), met lots of the great people at my publisher, hung out with lots of fantastic writers, AND also for extra special bonus, it was New Orleans, so that’s always fun, too. Oh, and I got tattooed.

Trying to do a full recap of the entire 5? 6? day extravaganza is too much, so some fun photos, amusing anecdotes, and random information follows, after my Top Ten Things I Learned at RT 2014:

Top Ten Things I Learned at RT 2014 (Some of which I already knew…):

1. Suzanne Brockman is super nice. (See also Heather Graham, Eloisa James, etc…)
2. You can never have too much creme brulee.
3. There’s no reason to panic over hair and makeup if you can have professionals do it.
4. Damon Suede isn’t just a masculine pen name.
5. I can be femme for five straight days and not die.
6. A surprisingly (to me) large number of romance authors are M.D.s.
7. My pain tolerance isn’t what it used to be.
8. Forever Romance at Hachette/Grand Central Publishing has an awesome team.
9. Awards are remarkably validating.
10. Absinthe is just as good as I remembered.
