Calling All Atlantans

Just a short note to remind you all that Marissa and I will be blogging from the Romance Writers of America annual conference next week. If you are anywhere near Atlanta, Georgia, be sure to check out the book signing Wednesday afternoon from 5 to 7pm at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Atrium Ballroom A-C.

It’s an amazing event with over 400 romance authors. The publishers donate the books, and authors sign them. All proceeds go to help fight illiteracy. The 2013 beneficiaries are ProLiteracy Worldwide, Literacy Action, Inc., and Literacy Volunteers of Atlanta. This event is open to the public and there is no entry fee.

Click here for a list of signing authors, including the two of us!

More next week, live from RWA Atlanta! And be sure to tune in on Tuesday, when I hear Marissa will have a special announcement.

Autographing Authors, Wandering Writers, and Poetic Proposals

We interrupt this blog to provide you with three messages from the Regina-Marissa Broadcast Network. This is not a test.

First, if you are anywhere near Anaheim, California, Wednesday, July 25, you may want to drop by the Anaheim Convention Center, third floor ballroom, between 5 and 8pm. Why, you ask? Because more than 400 authors, including Marissa and me, will be signing books! Admittance is free, and all proceeds from the books you buy will go to supporting local literacy organizations. Marissa will be at table 605, and I will be at table 405. Stop by and say hi!

Second, the fact that we will be signing books with so many other authors for charity means two things: 1) it’s time for the Romance Writers of America annual conference, and 2) it’s Regina and Marissa sleepover time. :-) So, next week, we will leave our families behind and spend a week in the rarified air of editors, agents, writers, and chocolate. Not necessarily in that order. Our posts, therefore, may not be quite on the usual days or times, because we’ll want to tell you the most juicy tidbits soon after they happen. Check the blog next week for details.

Finally, I just received a copy of my cover for The Rake’s Redemption, the third book in the Everard Legacy miniseries, and I couldn’t wait to share. As some readers suspected, my favorite Everard is Vaughn (golly, does it show?), so you can imagine how anxious I was to see how the cover artists depicted him. He’s a romantic poet (in more ways than one), with a flair all his own. I knew he wasn’t going to be easy to capture on canvas.


But they did it!

I have only one quibble: his hair. Anyone want to guess why?
