This is so ironic, but I actually have two books up for major awards at the conference, and I won't be there! Cover of Darkness was nominated as a finalist in the RWA Kiss of Death chapter's Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence, and No Turning Back was nominated for best romantic suspense single title in the National Readers' Choice Awards. While this thrills me, I'm kind of bummed. To think I could have sat at the same table with incredible authors such as Roxanne St. Claire and Brenda Novak, and hear my name listed amongst the finalists!
Shoot. I hear the KOD even hosts a Death By Chocolate party, too. That is what I call a good time. Ah, well, hindsight is twenty twenty, right?
I know several of my fellow Wild Writers will be at the conference this year, so I have a request. Go have a great time, but please report back to me if you hear/see my name mentioned anywhere, okay? I'll have to live vicariously through the rest of you for this.

Awww... we'll so miss you in NYC! :-(
Absolutely. I will definitely tweet/email you if I hear anything.
Awwww, sweetie, I wish I didn't have to miss. I'd be happy to go to the awards ceremonies on your behalf. As it stands, I have to be in Savannah.....:( So I haz a sad, too!
Thanks, Gail.
Jenn, awesome! Not that I expect to win, lol, but it would be cool to find out someone was finding out that I exist.
Liane, you're excused. But I'm secretly jealous of you being in Savannah. One of my fave cities of all time. Actually, most of my fave places are in the South. Hmmm... Have a glass of sweet tea for me on your porch, and we'll call it even, kay?
Noooo, too many of us not going. Although, those of us who are there will raise a little hell just for you.;)
Kaylea, it may surprise you, but I am terrified to fly too. Yes, the Amazon Goddess of Doom hates to fly.
Big hugs, sweets.
