Doesn't Tina look amazing in her crown? It is so exciting when they flash the Rita finalists up on a giant screen and you get to scream and clap for your friends. There really are no losers at this ceremony.
After the literacy booksigning, Tera, Tina, Marley and I had dinner with Lauren Strasnick (YA author or Nothing Like You) at Shula's Steakhouse. Marley had to explain to us who Don Shula is (the winningest football coach ever, in case you were wondering). The food was amazing! I'm pretty sure that Marley will be posting pictures of her dinner at a later date. I haven't been able to attend a conference since 2007 and it was wonderful to be able to be in the company of these wonderful and talented women again.
That's just a little taste of RWA Orlando. There will be many more memories and pictures to come.
xo,
Stephanie

Wish I would have been there!
Glad yo had fun!!
Dinner was perfection! So happy to have been included.
I've been looking at alot of pics on different authors sites from RWA.
Two thoughts come to mind --
1.) Is the RWA an "All-Girls Club"?
2.) Who had their picture taken with fans more last week; Mickey Mouse or Meg Cabot?
Sounds fantastic!!!! (except for the head colds) That's so great that you guys got to go and see each other!!!!! Thanks so for sharing with all of us who had to stay home!!!!!
Hey, Chuck, pretty much all girls club, yeah...but not intentionally!
And speaking of Meg Cabot...pictures to follow, I am sure!
Sounds like a great time, Steph. Thanks for the recap! Tina, you look great in your sash and tiara. ;)
So proud of all the bees!

Orlando is awesome!
