Penned Con 2017!

10/4/2017

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?

I am so jealous! It looked like everyone had a great time. Thank you and all the authors that raised such an awesome amount for autism!

Thanks for the chance on the HOP!!!
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)!!

Penned Con 2017!
