1. Yes
2. Only one
3. Last year's in Dallas
4. Spotlights, Literacy signing, Moonlight Madness (because Romance Divas has a table this year), the St. Martin's publisher party (woohoo! I scored invites!), and of course, the RITA/GH ceremony so I can see if I won or not.
5. Sharing with Jax
6. Probably two checked bags (one with my clothes, one with RD merchandise) and a carry-on.
7. Yes. My editor/agent appointments. Eek!
8. Hmm...I've met a lot of my favorite authors, so I'm gonna have to say I'm most looking forward to meeting all the other Divas who are coming to conference!

Your turn!

    I'm not going to Reno and, as of right now, I've never been to a conference.

    Have fun :)

    7. Does the thought of conference make you nervous? If yes, what part? No way, I'm there to have a great time, meet our fellow Divas, and party like it's 1999, I mean, 2005!
    8. Who, if anyone, are you hoping to meet? There are so many folks, but I'd love to be stuck in the elevator with an agent or editor :) That way, I can work my Divalicious charms.

  7. 1. Are you going to this year's RWA conference in Reno?
    Absofreakinlutely, baby!

    2. How many other RWA conferences have you been to?
    This is #2! - that sounds nasty.

    3. Which one was your first?
    Dallas, 2004

    4. If you've been before, what events are you most looking forward to?
    Well, I did go last year but didn't know what the PRO Retreat was, so I didn't go. I'm looking forward to that since I keep hearing great things. Other than that and the gala, mostly the parties - including RD's - and Jenny Crusie. Oh, and the Death By Chocolate party. Okay, I can't pick just one thing.

    5. Are you sharing a room or bunking alone?
    Yes, my two critique partners, Chris Keach and Shari Owens. Shari joined RWA just to be able to critique me better. How cool is that?

    6. How many suitcases will you be bringing?
    Two checks, two carry-ons. As much as I CAN, actually.

    7. Does the thought of conference make you nervous? If yes, what part?
    Not nervous, just anxious.

    8. Who, if anyone, are you hoping to meet?
    YOU! I've had a blast with you on the loops and RDs lately! And Jennifer Crusie. I just love her, so it's going to be really neat having her at a couple of events I'll be at.
