My Writing Life

Ellen Higuchi and her Los Gatos Borders Romance Reader Group.  I love these women!!!  It's always such a blast to visit.  Here I am signing with the fabulous Jasmine Haynes.

This is Kate Perry, Brenda Novak, and me, during our marathon twelve-hour book signing at the Sacramento State Fair.  It sounds crazy, but ended up being a hoot.  I tell you, if you ever need to spend twelve hours with two other authors, Kate and Brenda should be on your short list.  Love 'em!!

This is my hometown Borders at Stonestown Mall in San Francisco.  I had SO much fun!  The manager told me I set a record, which was very exciting.

Here I am at the Emeryville Borders. Can you tell I had a favorite February signing sweater? Hey, a girl gets chilly just sitting and signing! And you'll note, that Walkers shortbread is never far from my side...

Here I am signing at the San Rafael Waldenbooks.  I brought the shortbread, and Cat, the super gracious store manager, supplied the chocolate! 

A shot of me flanked by two of my lovely author friends, Tracy Grant and Kate Perry, at my big 40th-birthday bash. (No, dear reader, I am not the 99 years my MySpace profile would have you believe.)

I spent Thanksgiving in New York and was lucky enough to meet my Editor, Cindy Hwang, and her Assistant Editor, Leis Pederson, for lunch. Believe me, it was some feat sneaking out the door in a white sweater unmarred by magic marker, peanut butter, spaghetti sauce, banana smudge, or grape juice.

This is me and the brilliant, witty, and warm-hearted Kate Perry. Not only is she one of my favorite writers, she owns a broadsword and knows how to use it. My dream critique partner!

From the Romance Writers of America conference in Dallas.  We couldn't resist dragging poor Linda Howard into a group shot! Here I'm joined by Fog City Divas Jami Alden and Bella Andre.

We had SO much fun crashing the HQN dance floor in Dallas.  Here are Bella Andre, Elizabeth Bevarly, and Christie Ridgway.
