Dreamin' of my new books after the DARA Event

Wow! What a great night last night was. A roomfull of authors signing a ton of great books, photos, dinner before with my tea/book group(and authors) and did I mention the BOOKS!

Here's Judy and Tracey with Linda Lael Miller (check out that pink bag!)

Just in case you don't know already... DARA's annual "Dreamin' In Dallas" booksigning event was held in Richardson, TX last night. Proceeds from the book sale went to a women's shelter. And, all the local and regional author members of DARA were there to sign their books, pose for a few pictures and offer kind words to aspiring authors and avid readers alike.

Here's Lori Wilde signing a copy of her latest release. It has a comic book/graphic novel hook--I can't wait to start that one!)

I managed(just barely) to keep myself from going too far over my book budget, while in the back of my mind was that "charitable proceeds" refrain to help ease the guilt. Am I ever glad Sara chose that night to unveil the new Fresh Fiction tote bags. Not only is is a lovely shade of pink, nice logo, good size, etc. but it really came in handy for all the books!!


Here is Candace Havens(right). I just found out she is not only an author, but a local radio personality who does movie reviews. It is so nice to put a face with a name and in this case, also a voice.



Karen Kelley, pictured left has a new book coming out in June called "Hell On Wheels" It is Josh's story--he was a secondary character in "Southern Comfort".

Now, can you see why I had such a good time. Make sure and mark your calendar's for next year. This event is not to be missed!!
