We had our chapter meeting today and it was absolutely fabulous! We were lucky enough to get to really great speakers, Evelyn Vaughn and Cindy Dees who spoke on the collaboration effort of their seven book series ‘The Madonna Key’. There is definitely a lot more to just getting with several writers and saying, “Hey, let’s write a series! You write one and I’ll write one and we’ll see if these other authors want to write one.” So glad they were able to come speak to us.
Then several, in fact quite a few, of us Yellow Rose members ran over to Barnes and Nobles to visit with Candace Havens and grab her new book, Charmed and Ready. Candace is so high energy and lots of fun. She had a pair of the coolest leopard print boots on! Wowsie! I loooooved them! And they actually matched the shoes her heroine is wearing on the cover! So cool! And Michelle mentioned to her that she was blogging over at Shoe IQ and Candy gave the info to her web designer, who was there supporting her, btw, and he was going to link it to her website. Michelle was so excited. It looked like a great booksigning, but Candy seems to excel in everything she does because she works very hard and is so talented. Run out and pick up the latest in her series. I plan on starting mine as soon as I finished Morrigan’s Cross by Nora Roberts.
Michelle, Dennie, and Amie, Jen, Sandy S, and I hung around the bookstore for awhile just talking and laughing until we ached. Fun girls!
Afterwards, I came home and crashed for about forty minutes. DH took me to Joe’s Crab Shack where we pigged out on shrimp and then I crashed again for an hour. That’s why it is 12:30 am and I am wired now.
Oh, BTW, I won Jill Shalvis’ book Bad Boys Southern Style from Eve! Another one I can’t wait to get and start reading! Thanks Eve and Jill!
Think I’ll head up to the bubble bath with my book now!
