Top 5 tidbits from my SPAM folder:
Size Matters!
Dylan wants me to call.
Liz and Edgar want to call me. (Geez, I’m popular, ain’t I?)
Apparently blood sugar has secrets ???
And a lost dog has been found on a camel farm… (Can’t get much more random than that, but, yay for the dog!)
What’s in your spam folder? (Keep it PG-13 folks!)
My Thursday at the RWA 2014 conference included a lot of workshops and a side trip to the Alamo. Honestly, it was only a couple blocks, so Terry Spear, Susan Carlisle and I walked over and enjoyed a little respite from the crowds. Here are a few pictures of the grounds as no pictures are allowed inside.
That’s Susan Carlisle waiving at us.
That’s Terry Spear on the Alamo grounds, inside the perimeter walls. It’s a lovely oasis surrounded by modern city.
The beautiful fountain just beyond where Terry is standing. And to the right, flowers as tall as a person. Aren’t they beautiful?
Tomorrow: Friday breakfast meeting and a surprise celebrity author or two.
Wednesday at #RWA2014 had three major events:
1. Lunch with my son, Jason, at the Rainforest Cafe along the Riverwalk. 
We took a selfie.
2. My roommate, Susan Carlisle arrived! Yes, this deserves an exclamation mark because she’s awesome and any time we get together is a good time. 
3. The RWA annual Booksigning for Literacy Event took place on Wednesday evening. HUGE ballroom, huge crowds, madness ensues as readers jostle through the melee to their favorite authors. I wasn’t signing this year, but Susan distributed my bookmarks along with her sexy doctor bookmark. See what I mean? She’s awesome, awesome, awesome!
It was also great to see long time friend and USA Today Bestselling Author, Terry Spear! We made it a point to exchange phone numbers and we met up several times. I loved reconnecting with her and catching up in person. She’s a sweetheart.
Susan and I were delighted to run into a friend from RWA 2012 in Anaheim, Anita Learned. We reminisced about our day on Venice Beach. Fun times!
