Hey! How was your weekend? Do anything fun?
Mine was busy but good. Same old, same old. Laundry, grocery shopping, hanging out with my DSRA pals and a internationally best selling author. You know, the usual.
Ha! I’m toally not that cool.
The Arkansas Literary Festival was held in Little Rock this weekend, and the ladies of the Diamond State Romance Authors were in the thick of it. What a fun, infomative, and inspirational weekend!
Friday night I dragged the hubby to the main library for a discussion on the evolution of erotic romance featuring editor/publisher Lori Perkins and the author of the best selling Crossfire series, Sylvia Day. Not only did the poor man survive, he actually learned some interesting things about publishing, romance, and the evolution of erotica and erotic romance in the publishing marketplace.
Then, Sylvia Day, who is also the current President of the Romance Writers of America, joined the Arkansas Diamonds for a luncheon to celebrate the chapter’s anniversary.
Sylvia answered questions and shared her insights into the industry throughout the lunch. She put up with our clowning around quite nicely too.
And in the end, she graciously posed for pictures with us all.
Yeah.. so how cool is that? Any Sylvia Day fans out there? Have you read the Crossfire series? Who did you hang out with this weekend?
How very exciting for you and the group. I had a quiet relaxing weekend. Well except for the working part of it on Sunday and the kids coming home. But other than that …
Sounds like an awesome weekend! I’m so cool that I hung out with my parents for most of the weekend and it didn’t suck. 😀 Also, I have a new secret handshake with both of them. You want cool? Look no further.
