I have a ton of photos so you're going to get a bit of a photo tour this week :)
This first photo is from Friday afternoon, and one of the coolest moments of the conference for me. I met and talked to Christine Feehan!! She is an amazing author and a really lovely person to talk to in person - I was so incredibly excited to meet her.
Not only that, but I got to chat to Marjorie Liu as well - who flew off to China a couple of days later!
Christine Feehan, Nalini, Marjorie LiuI also got to meet the gorgeous Meljean Brook, who was only there for the Friday. Keep an eye out for Meljean's Demon Bound in November - it's fabulous!!
Nalini & MeljeanAs well as meeting new friends, and catching up with online ones, I had a chance to catch up with some friends I've had for a long time. On Wednesday morning, I had coffee with Frances Housden, Bronwyn Jameson and Shelley Munro. Paula Roe dropped by for a few minutes as well, and gave me a bright red "I'm a Down Under Desirabelle" ribbon for my badge. That ribbon started a few conversations, let me tell you! It's actually all about a new blog that we've set up - the first posts have just gone up (and I just added some photos there, too), so swing by and say hi!
Frances & BronwynAnd I think this is the perfect picture to end on for today - what made this conference extra special was that so many readers were there, including a number of people who comment on this blog. So without further ado, let me introduce you to (from left) - Kate (Katiebabs), Alice, and Ciara.
I also met lots of other readers, but I haven't got all my photos organized yet - if you guys have any good shots, send them to me! It was so much fun meeting everyone. I'm already thinking about next year!!More photos tomorrow!

I am soooo jealous I wish Icould have gone. Next year for sure.
I'm so glad the conference went well, Nalini! I heard from SO many romance fans who were over the moon to have met you!
I live in DC, so I can't wait to go all fangrrl on you next year! Better prepare yourself! :wink:
How great you had a wonderful time, Nalini :) Wish I could have been there!!
ACK. I look much better in real life. LOL
Nalini, you look awesome! some great pictures!
WOW! It looks (and sounds) like the most amazing conference. Maybe I should save up really, really hard (I can still buy books though, right?) and go next year :)
I have a confession. The photo that has me grinning is the last one. It is so cool to put faces to names! And you all look gorgeous!
orannia *who upon seeing that photo has regained her good humour that was lost when she realised all of the Olympic gymnastic coverage was on a digital channel!*
PS I have finished Cry Wolf and....WOW! It is GOOD!
So glad you had such a great time at RWA. I've enjoyed reading everyone's posts on the conference and the photos have been great, too! Thanks for sharing.
Great pictures Nalini!
I like the picture with katiebabs, alice an ciara. (It`s interesting to see how everybody looks).
And Christine Feehan. - Wow. Must be really interesting to talk with her.(I loved her story about Gregory and Savanna).

Nalini, I was so glad to meet you. I'm very grateful I had the opportunity to go.
You are right, great people and great workshops. But, man, it does wear you out.
I still smile about your comment that I wasn't at all what you expected! I AM a pushy broad online. But it's cause I love your writing and always want more. You know, if you wanted to post a new excerpt to celebrate your safe return, I wouldn't mind. I'm sure no one else would either. ;)
I look forward to seeing you again at RAW. Will Dorian be out by then? I need to check the release date.
See you in September.

It was so great to meet you!!! I'm sorry you ran out of books before I got to your table, but thanks for signing the HTP ARC. I hope to see you next year in DC!
