World Fantasy Memories

I am still pumped up from the 2008 World Fantasy Convention. This is a shot of Diana Rowland (her book Mark of the Demon comes out in June 2009-go pre-order on Amazon!!) myself and Carrie Vaughn, author of the Kitty series.

Both gals are super nice and I am working on putting together a workout program for Diana so she can look FABulous for her book launch next year. I know she'll do great both with her workouts and her book sales! (really, you have to check it out!)This is David Morrell, GOH at the World Fantasy Convention. I attended his workshop and several of his panel sessions. Here I've just gotten his autograph and talked him into a photo!
Again, this is me being "fan girly" with Toastmaster Tad Williams. I'm taking that book with me to read on the plane on my next trip! I talked him into doing a goofy picture too, but I'll save that one for the bloopers reel.....
I was matched up with a roommate through the convention and we hit it off. Here's my roommate Anne with L.E. Modesitte Jr. We ended up having a few drinks and chatting with him later that weekend in the pub :)
One more fan pic, here I am with Jana G. Oliver, author of the Time Rovers books. I sat in on a session where Jana was on the panel and the more she referred to her book, the more I got hooked! So I had to buy a copy and of course had to have her sign it at the autograph session!


Unfortunately I have not had time to do any writing since I returned, as we just had our 5th Annual Sandra Wickham Fall Classic-a novice bodybuilding, fitness and figure event. It was our biggest show ever, so well worth all the hard work.

As of Friday I am off to AUSTRALIA! I'll be there for almost 3 weeks, visiting with my brother and sister-in-law. My mom has already arrived and will be staying for a total of 3 months. We hope to do lots of sight seeing and fun stuff together while I'm there. AND I plan on writing on the flights!!!

G'day!
