Travels to Vegas

Back from plot group.  That would be four days in Las Vegas with four other authors.  10 plotting sessions, 2 books each.  Lots of Starbucks and way too many tortilla chips on the two nights we ate Mexican.  I love salsa.  I also love guacamole.  We had both.  That's my excuse.  Mwahaha.

The picture to the left?  Yours truly, Teresa Southwick and Kate Carlisle, three of the five of our crew.  Missing from this photo?  Susan Mallery and Maureen Child.

Now I'm home, catching up madly.  I finished the edits that were waiting for me from my publisher.  And Monday?  On to the next proposal.  That will take up to a week.  I love writing proposals because I start by listening to the tape of the plotting session from plot group.  I love not only the great ideas I get from my plot mates, but also the jokes we are constantly cracking as the session progresses.

Once the proposal is outta here, I'll write the third in the Bravo Royales series.  Title: THE RANCHER'S CHRISTMAS PRINCESS.  You'll never guess.  It's a December release.

Here in Portland, the sun is out.  Loving that.  Hope it's sunny where you are...

So jealous of you and your plot group. You always sound as if you have so much fun! And you get such great books out of the meeting. Not to mention chips and margaritas. Oh, wait. You didn't mention margaritas. But surely you had them. :)

Oh my gosh - don't put chips and salsa in front of me either. I'd slap your hand away if you tried to take one!

Pat, yes! There were most definitely margaritas. Ordered special by Kate, with Hornitos tequila and...something else wonderful. Triple Sec? Can't remember. Probably from drinking too many margaritas!

Marcie, hey! How are you? We are getting our SE blog together. Should be up within the month. And about the chips and salsa, guess what I did last night. Went out and had Pollo verde tacos...and chips and salsa. I shouldn't have. But I did!

PS Pat, I do love my plot group. They are all sooooo good. I'm totally spoiled having them to bounce things off of.
