Tales from the Romance Writers of America Conference
I have just returned from the Romance Writers of America conference in New York City. Above were views from my room. Having a panoramic view of Times Square is wonderful until about 3 in the morning when the lights are still flashing through your window.
I'll share with you one of the funnier experiences I had at the conference. I stepped into an elevator where a man in gym gear stood quietly in the corner. We traveled in silence for two floors when a very exuberant author joined us, holding up an award. I asked what she won the award for and she gushed, "For erotica. A story based on Lady and the Tramp meeting werewolves." I offered her my hearty congratulations as she disembarked three floors later.
At this point the man standing in the back of the elevator spoke up. "Excuse me," he said. "Did that woman just say she won an award for an erotic novel about Lady and the Tramp meeting werewolves?" To which I replied, "Yes. That is what she said."
The man shook his head and murmured, "Man, I need to start reading more."
