RWA 2018 Overview

I thought you might enjoy those photos from my trip to Denver, Colorado for the 2018 Romance Writers of America National Conference. I had so much fun getting to chat with my fellow authors and also meet readers at the Literacy Signing! The signing raised $38,226 for ProLiteracy Worldwide and the Literacy Coalition of Colorado, which is incredible.


Here I am signing!

Hanging out with my friends and awesome Scottish romance authors Eliza Knight and Lori Ann Bailey. All we are missing is Cecelia Mecca and we’d have the complete Ladies of the Stone team.

One of the coolest things I did at Nationals was take part in Victoria Vane‘s How to Become a Well-Dressed Lady: Building a Historical Wardrobe from the Ground Up workshop, where I got to dress in historical underwear and historical gowns! This workshop helped authors to understand the many, many layers a historical woman would wear, across several popular eras: medieval, Renaissance, Georgian, Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian. Victoria also runs Renaissance to Regency Couture. You can actually watch part of the workshop here, and see me modeling the stays, shift, and the pocket hoops (what I’m pointing to below).

So these hoops could actually be used as pockets for your dress!

With Collette Cameron. I’m modeling the Victorian fashion, while she is wearing Regency. These dresses were both made by Victoria too.


So here we have Eliza Knight wearing the medieval, Julie Johnstone modeling the Tudor, Gina Conkle wearing Georgian, me wearing Victorian, and Victoria Vane wearing Edwardian. All these dresses were made by Victoria too.

The crack of the anti-aircraft guns rang out overh The crack of the anti-aircraft guns rang out overhead as a plane swooped low enough for the hum of its engine to echo through the cavernous tube station.
“I don’t know.” Grace glanced at the book, still pinched at her location. “I haven’t read that far yet.”
“Well,” the housewife said. “Go on.”
Grace hesitated. “You want me…to read it?” Everyone on the platform of Farringdon Station watched her expectantly. “Out loud?”
The lot of them all nodded, and quite a few smiled.
Suddenly, she was the painfully shy girl of her youth again in scuffed shoes that pinched at her toes, standing before the class with a bit of chalk in her hand and every set of eyes on her. Her stomach coiled itself into a knot.
“Please,” the young mother said. Another barrage of gunfire came, and she cowered down into herself.
Mr. Evans’s expressive brows crept upward in silent question.
Despite every brutally shy bit of Grace’s makeup screaming at her to refuse, she opened the book, licked her suddenly dry lips and began to read.

Thank you to @saraackermanbooks and @harpercollins Thank you to @saraackermanbooks and @harpercollins for this advance copy of Radar Girls! I was so excited to get it in the mail today 😆📚 

Ink photobombed my bookstagram setup, but clearly approves of this WWII historical fiction set in Hawaii where the gutsy heroine signs up for the first Women’s Air Raid Defense after Pearl Harbor. 

This book sounds incredible and I can’t wait to start it!! 

What new book have you gotten that you’re looking forward to reading?
