Authors After Dark - my first Con
I had a blast at Authors After Dark in Philly this past Thu - Sun - August 11th - 14th. So many amazing readers, bloggers, and authors.
Here are my Top 10... wait, Top 11... hold it, Top 12 - okay, there were so many but let me limit myself to
Kris Cook's TOP 13 Memorable Moments at AADPhilly (13 is kind of appropriate, don't you think?):
#13 - The Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich at the hotel. Yes...at the hotel. It was monstrous and hot. Wait, I'm not writing a sex scene here. *clears throat* And meeting Bronwyn Green, Mia Waters, Simone Anderson, Brynn Paulin and William Cooper.
#12 - Meeting 4 of my dear Righteous Perverts Tina, Christy, Marcy, and Susan.
#11 - Meeting 2 awesome members of KindleSmut on Goodreads - Mrs. Missive & UWAttackCat - they were dressed as Vampire and Werewolf with cool scary eyes. Great costumes.
#10 - Speaking on my first panel with Melissa Schroeder (adore her) about what the revolution in digital publishing is all about. I was a nervous wreck. I was told it didn't show. I hope so.
#9 - OPEN BAR! Enough said. Well, maybe not. Thank you Mel (Melissa Schroeder) for allowing me to host the event with you. (Really, I adore her!)
#8 - Singing happy birthday to Larissa Ione at dinner. She's so sweet.
#7 The blogger sleepover party. Larissa, Bells, Marq, Adrienne, Tigris, Joy, Ali, JoJo, Felicia ... oh, God - all of them but I can't remember everyone's names. At that hour, I was on hour 22 without sleep - a precursor to how the whole time at AAD would go down. Someone shoot me an email and I'll update the list.
#6 (really #1, but I don't want someone to get the big head) - Getting my ass grabbed by Joy from JoyfullyReviewed. SimplyAli - you need to make her behave better in public.
#5 - Drinks in my room with Sylvia Day, Eliza Gayle, Joy, Melissa Schroeder, Lissa Matthews, Karin Tabke, Cat Johnson, SimplyAli, Felicia, and the Righteous Perverts. Yes, we had spillage, but Susan R. and I did get the Red Wine bottle opened.
#4 - Tilly Greene stalking me in the elevators. She also did an awesome job, as did the other authors on the BDSM panel, IMHO.
#3 - (Warning - my sick way of looking at things to follow) When Joy held up her hand when the Tweets started blasting and said - Goldfish and Worms! I was really needing a snack and wondered if I could get room service to bring some up. LOL!
#2 - Breakfast at the Chocolate place with the delicious waffles and waiters. Yummy!
#1 - Bells (a terrific blogger) who came up to me and said she really was impressed with me and couldn't wait to read my books.
There are so many other moments. Meeting the amazing Stella Price, who put the whole thing together. Others who knocked my socks off were Melissa Ecker, Theresa Meyers, Tilly Greene, Rita Sawyer, and on and on...
New Orleans can't come soon enough. Wait. Let me have a couple more nights of sleep, then it can come. Countdown 362 days to go!
