what else is new?
Just got back from St. Louis/RT/my book launch party. It was a great time. Hi, to everyone I met!!
I think my favorite event was the Mr. Romance contest. It was a complete hoot. Everyone did a great job and it was really entertaining. The very best part though was a St. Louis County police officer who was there on security duty. The expression on his face was priceless. I even had my friend take my picture with him. I’d post it, but when I asked his permission he turned twenty shades of red and said no. :(
I kicked off my week by dropping my brand new four pack of eyeshadow into the toilet. Yes, I fished it out with my bare hand and seriously considered whether it could be salvaged, before remembering I had room mates who might question my general hygiene if I did such a thing. Then later in the week, while my room mate was showering, my entire make up bag fell to the ground- right next to the eye-shadow-eating toilet - destroying two of my blushes. Perhaps this was a message of some type?
Also went to a fabulous dinner hosted by Kensington Books, and met other Kensington/Brava/Zebra authors. It was a really fun and friendly group.
Lots of parties, lots of nice people, and lots of late nights. When I think of more, I’ll post it - plus pictures.

p.s. On the business side, Kensington annouced they are adding an erotica line. They are really interested in getting submissions so if you write erotica, pop something into the mail to Hilary Sares or Audrey LaFehr. Good Luck!!
Hm. Do you think the cosmos were trying to tell you you’re absolutely gorgeous and have no need for makeup?
RT sounds like a great time–I’m so jealous. Can’t wait to read more!
BTW–Just finished Love is All Around. Loved it!

by Lori May 3rd, 2005 at 10:42 pmSounds like you had a fabulous time at RT, Lori. So did I. All that fun and excitement crammed into a few short days. It’s a blur! I’m glad we at least had a chance to say, hi. Seemed like I was flitting around like a deranged butterfly. You looked lovely!
