When I think about websites I like, what comes to mind are the ones that let visitors into the author’s world in a richer way than just a description of publications. One Harlequin author has a bookshelves section where she discusses the books she loves. Several others talk about places they’ve been or people or events they find inspiring. Other writers speak about music or films or their research.
Shamelessly, I’m stealing all these ideas and wrapping them up into a monthly column called My Favorite Things. This gives me leeway to talk about anything that takes my fancy. I know it’s self-indulgent, but I hope you won’t mind.

:: September 2010 - We Interrupt Our Scheduled Program…
Yeah, I know, I promised you another piece on show tunes. But when I was looking at the photos from all the romance conferences I've been to in the last few months, I couldn't resist sharing some of the highlights with you. So for your enjoyment, I present some happy snaps from RomCon in Denver, Colorado (9th to 11th July, 2010) and Romance Writers of America's Nationals in Orlando, Florida (28th to 31st July).
Show Tunes Part Deux will return in October!
Me with the wonderful Margie Lawson in the Rockies.
I got a chance to flirt with the locals in Golden, Colorado!

Two of my favorite people! At RWA in Orlando, this is Terri Gary and Romance Bandit Anna Sugden.

That strange woman again. This time she seems to have stolen my seat for the RWA literacy signing in Orlando.
Anna Campbell with Julie Anne Long and Toni Blake at RWA Orlando.
Anna Campbell with the incomparable Gayle Callen. Because of the vagaries of alphabetical ordering, we seemed to be the naughty girls sitting together at a lot of events!
Me with the fabulous Romance Dishes! (L-R) Andrea Williamson, PJ Ausdenmore, Anna Campbell, Buffie Carp Johnson and Gannon Wilson Carr
At RWA Orlando (L-R) Jeanne Adams, Andrea Williamson, Anna Campbell, Buffie Carp Johnson, PJ Ausdenmore
