I arrived yesterday in Columbus, Ohio around 10:00 am and the day proceeded into a wild whirlwind of activity which mainly consisted of catching up with old friends and a couple of publisher spotlight panels.
I’ve already collected more free books and goodies than I could hope to fit in my suitcase, so there will be lots of goodies to give away. (just as soon as I figure out how to get them all home. lol)
As usual the EC Paint the Town Red party was a lot of fun with half naked men and goodies galore. Including Kiss and Tell’s Mari Freeman being caught up in the antics of the naughty cavemen.

There are so many authors here it will probably take the whole week to see some of them. But here’s a few pics so far to see a little of what went on the first night.
The always beautiful Eden Bradley at the EC party.

Will Belegon and Alessia Brio with their creative interpretation of painting the town red. Love it!

The super talented and always adorable Samantha Kane

Stella Price and her alice costume. Loving the hat!

Author Dee Carney and her new best friend, Mr. Romance 2009 Charles Paz

Don’t forget to comment for a chance to win some great RT goodies!
