Dee and Julia do Denver
While you are reading this, Dee and I are in Denver, at an airport hotel, mingling with romance readers. This is a very small conference, and it is designed so that readers can get to know authors, and authors can meet readers. There are no lessons in craft, there are no publishers and agents. Just writers and readers hanging out.
Dee and I have never been before, but we are really looking forward to it. I don't really know what to expect. I am signed up for an intimate chat with eight readers, a full hour where they can ask me anything, and I can ask them questions, too. I know what I want to ask: How do they feel about ebooks? (I like them. But I like them as a compliment to real books) What is the genre they always go back to? (historical romance). What would they like to see more of? (please don't say sex). What would they like to see less of? (say sex).
I wonder what they will be asking me. Where do I get my ideas? (stock answer: everywhere). Why don't I like writing sex? (because the mechanics of it are BORING and the emotions of it are HARD). Would I ever write a paranormal romance? (maybe).
We'll be reporting in from our facebook pages, tweets, and here, so stay tuned. To celebrate our foray into this new (to us) reader convention, I am going to give away one signed copy of The Year of Living Scandalously. Just answer the three questions below and I will choose a random winner when I get back from Denver.
1. How do you feel about ebooks?
2. What is the genre you always go back to?
3. What would you like to see more of? Less of?
