Penned Con 2017!

10/4/2017

14 Comments

 
OMG! You all! Can we talk about Penned Con for a minute? This was my first year attending the event, and all I can say is WOW! What an amazing event. I had so much fun that by the time I got home, my voice was completely gone. In fact, I still squeak when I try to talk. 
From the moment I checked in, I met a ton of new readers and authors whom I can now call friends. The two day signing was filled with amazing keynote speakers, lunches, dinners, and parties. I swear to all that is holy, I'm still tired!
For those of you who stopped by to see me, please know how grateful I am! I love meeting new readers and connecting with them on a personal level. 
One of the things I love most about this event is that all proceeds go to Action for Autism! We raised over $14,000 this year! 
My table is booked for next year and I hope to see you there!

Wow! This is the first I've heard of this. I've been off grid I guess. Can you tell us where, when?

That looked like an Awesome convention to attend. My daughter and I haven’t attended one for about a year now, that looks like one we should have gone to.

Just trying to bestow MY elucidation
which helps YOU reach your destination
where WE can write zillions-O-books in
our effusive exaggeration (amidst the stars):

On October 30, 1985,
not far from my house,
we lost our lives:
Im so ready to die now
(Im a Near Death Experiencer -
saw a lil of Seventh-Heaven):
to live! love! exponentially!
to VitSee-harmony for eternity!!
2RITE w/a passion 999×999×999+
milliquadrillion... novels in ♡OUR♡
exalted, extravagant excess!!!

Are you? If you aint, miss adorable,
why donchoo make like a choochoo
and high-tail it into Seventh-Heaven
so we can eternally party-hardy, girl
(skuze d’New Joisey axent)!!

    A lover of all things romance, I like to create stories that warm the heart, make you laugh out loud and keep you guessing along the way.
