Yes, I am sooo slack at getting pics downloaded, resized and reuploaded. Ugh.

Anyways…

Day Two started out waaay too early. I think I managed a 10:00 am panel but after staying up until the wee hours of the morning, I was already wiped. lol

I started the day with a fantastic panel from the Smutketeers entitled Sextopia. So I don’t think I need to tell you what that was about. But don’t they look like such a fun group?

Samhain Editor Laurie Rauch, Crystal Jordan, Eden Bradley, Lilli Feisty and R.G. Alexander

I didn’t make it to as many panels as I would have liked but I kept busy meeting people, hanging out in Club RT and general author mayhem.

Late afternoon brought the YA author No So Sweet 16 party which I am so glad I made it to. Not only did they give us all a huge bag of books (my teenagers think I am a hero for this one) but we got an opportunity to chat and meet booksellers while we waited to get the much coveted author autographs. YA is so hot right now, if I didn’t love writing the more adult books I think I’d have to give it a try.

Alas, there were many other YA authors in attendance but unfortunately my camera skills are rather suspect as you will see as the posts continue. Oh and please if I have spelled any names wrong feel free to flog me. (I won’t like it at all)

As usually happens day turned to night and we were all transformed into elemental fairies for the much anticipated fairy ball.

I did attempt a not too extravagant fire fairy costume. lol

me and my roommate author Dee Carney

Author Samantha Sommersby and Liquid Silver Publisher Tina Burns

the most creative Author Eden Bradley and stage escort Will Belegon

And no RT Convention is complete without the creativity of a costumed CJ

That’s all the pics I pretty much took for day two. I know I should have taken more but I refer you to my previous statement of my suspect picture taking skills. Where’s my photographer daughter when I need her?

My RT contest is still going on so comment lots because I have at least a couple dozen books being shipped to my house from the convention that I will be giving away.
