I'd just gotten in from Bourbon Street (looved the N.O. beads! I bought...and wore all week...loads of them!) one of my favorite writers, Tori Carrington.  They're a husband-and-wife writing team, Tony and Lori, and here they are!  I was thrilled to have met them :)
These ladies were at the eHarlequin reception in the Harlequin/Silhouette hospitality suite that was open for most of the convention. 

The Brenda Chin Awards... retribution for a birthday gift that involved a singing gorillagram!  ;) 

I made a new friend from Los Angeles at Saturday's luncheon :)  Here's some other ladies at our table as well.  

Just an overview of the room at Saturday's luncheon 

This pretty lady is Pat Pureda, enjoying herself at the Pocket signing Saturday afternoon

Okay, must I admit it?  I'm a major Linda Howard fan :)  Here she is at the Pocket signing.  I missed the one-page synopsis critique workshop, just to come meet her!  Naturally, I'd seen her a zillion times before the signing, but since I didn't know who she was, I had to come to the signing to find that out, LOL!  She was sweet enough to sign my old, not-too-tattered copy of "White Lies" which I'd brought along just in case :) 
Linda chatting with another fan.  I'm also a fan of Nora Roberts, Suzanne Brockman, Merline Lovelace, and others, but wasn't able to get their picks without being obvious (or rude) about it.  Once Linda ran out of books, however, the crowd clustered about her table disappeared, and I was able to get these shots :) 
A very pretty fellow conference-goer :) 
Here's Julie Garwood... I stood in line almost an hour to get her autograph for my friend Dallys, whom I've known since we were best friends in sixth grade!  I got the pics of Linda Howard while waiting in line here for Julie, and I got the very last hardback book she had for Dallys :)
