I tend to spend a lot of time alone in my study, writing my books, But occassionally I do get out! The annual Romance Writers of America Conference is a great time to talk shop and party with my fellow authors.

Here I am at the Literacy Signing, (under my alter ego pen name,
Andrea Pickens)

I'm hanging out with the Word Wenches, my blog group (Jo Beverley was snapping the pic and Susan Fraser KIng wasn't able to attend.) From left to right: Mary Jo Putney, Patricia Rice, me, Anne Gracie and Nicola Cornick
