I had such a marvelous time at last week’s 20Books Vegas Writers’ Conference, sponsored by 20Books to 50K, an organization of independent authors. I went in a little leery, since the organization is not romance-centric, but found the 20Books crew to be warm, welcoming, and friendly to all genres–except for the creep who stopped by my signing table to tell me of the “disdain” most sci-fi authors hold toward romance.

Sigh. There’s always one.

No matter which genre they wrote, the presenters all shared gobs & heaps & tons of valuable information. I scribbled notes as fast as my cramped hand could manage and am still transcribing them all. On Wednesday, a bunch of steamy romance authors went to the Magic Mike Live show and–well, let’s say I’m still fanning myself. We had ringside seats, and I got to pull one gorgeous dancer’s pants off! At his request, of course. Another hunky dude gave me a lap dance. If you get the chance, definitely go see this show! Great production, amazing dancers, and such a hoot!

During a panel of Reverse Harem Romance authors, I had an epiphany. Going in, I knew very little about this genre, but their talk teased forth an idea for my next series! Must’ve been the combined authorly brilliance swirling in that packed room that tickled my muse. As soon as I finish the Bangers Tavern series, I’m off to RH land!

But enough about the conference. I’m participating in some great romance giveaways I want to share with  you.
