Featured speaker was Tess Gerritsen, author of many medical thrillers and inspiration for the TNT series Rizzoli and Isles. She gave a marvelous and funny talk about her experiences -- sometimes in morgues! In the left is Shari Anton and on the right is me. Tess is the doll in the center!
I sat at Lori Handeland;'s table and she gave us all hats, brooms to ride, and lots of other swag (potions!) in recognition of her new series, Sisters of the Craft, coming this summer. Look for In the Air Tonight in June 2015, Heat of the Moment in July, and Smoke on the Water in August. Three sisters lost toi time...Can they find what they desire most? On the left, author Anne Stratton, center Lori, right, Joy Molter -- and lots of others enjoyed the table too.
On Friday, lots of volunteers packed 500 bags with free books and swag from many authors. In the evening there was an author question night for the public, followed by a booksigning and lots of chatting.
The Wisconsin Romance Writers (WisRWA) held a simultaneous conference with excellent workshops. One the left is Liz Lincoln Steiner; center, Barbara Vey, right, Liz Czukas. The two Lizes chaired the WisRWA event and did a great job.
And I got to touch base with Ki Pha who attended --
a pal from the Duke of Wellington Tour last September. We shared pizza time! Next year, Ki???
