Fall In Love With New England #read #romance #fall

I had the honor of hanging out with a ton of authors and a slew of kick butt readers this past weekend. Never have I ever had so much fun at a conference. It wasn't my typical conference where I'd attend craft and publishing workshops. Instead, the authors presented panels, workshops and games for the readers. Have I mentioned how hilariously fun, smart and awesome these readers were?

Friday afternoon I co-hosted Romantic Jeopardy with the lovely Terri Osburn. Oh, did we have fun! The audience seemed to especially enjoy the "Name Those Abs" and "Penis Facts" categories. There was a LOT of laughter all around.

For Friday night's Halloween themed dinner, I dressed as Harley Quinn from The Suicide Squad. Yeah, I had fun getting into character, and even got to ham it up with our hunky cover model. He was so kind putting up with 120 women ogling him and requesting pictures. After dinner, we trick-or-treated around the hotel. Another wild time.

I'm proud of myself for waking up early Saturday morning and running a few miles on the treadmill in the hotel gym and tossing around some weights before a quick breakfast and another round of workshops. Another highlight of my weekend was the book signing. The room was packed not only with authors, but with the best readers I've ever met. 

I made many memories last weekend, but most importantly, I made many new friends. And added dozens of books to my TBR pile.

Sunday morning the FILWNE planning committee (which I'm proud to be a part of) sat down to assess the conference and made notes on how we could make it even better in 2017.

I highly recommend attending next year's reader event. We'll be Falling in Love with New England in Manchester, NH October 13-14, 2017. I'd love to see you there.
