TOTO, I'M NOT IN KANSAS ANY MORE

Last week was my first visit to Kansas City and my first time at the wildly popular Romantic Times conference sponsored by Romantic Times Magazine, affectionately known as RT. I had a fabulous time and met a ton of wonderful romance readers and writers. I also met some of the movers and shakers in the industry like the legendary Kathryn Falk, who is the founder and CEO of the popular magazine (loved her!), and her managing editor Liz French, who was so very nice.

Let me tell you, romance writers are not only creative and friendly, they're also very smart businesswomen and I came away inspired and energized. Well, mentally energized. Today, I'm pooped! It was a busy time, with workshops, parties and the big blow-out author signing party on Saturday. And I almost did it all. Missed a couple of parties and didn't get my picture taken with any of the gorgeous male cover models who were strutting around. Maybe next year ... because I'm for sure going next year! I have a few pics here on the blog page and you'll find more over in the photo section. I love what I do for a living!

How is it possible that I have been reading romance novels for over 35 years and I have never heard of RT magazine??!? I am going to google it right this second!

Yes, Mary, if you read romance you definitely want to check out Romantic Times. They review all the new romance novels when they come out (as well as mystery), and sponsor this huge, fun convention every year. Next year's is in New Orleans.

I especially love your Icicle Falls series & last week I finished "What She Wants". I couldn't put it down & rate it 5 stars! It was fun seeing love from the guys' point of view. I liked how they got the idea to read romance novels (in private) to figure out what women want. What a great idea! Can't wait for your next book & hope you continue this series for several more books!

Wish that we had some of these writers events to go to near where I live; I would love to get to some of them, but enjoy seeing and hearing about them on FB and your webpages no matter what.

Hope to be eligible for the signed copy of the book you are offering or one of the other items you mentioned in your FB writings today.

Thanks so much.

Cynthia

Paula Eykelhof used to be such a beautiful young woman; she was breathtaking. To see her now, such a wreck, is really painful.
