Tawny Taylor (I admit to a girl crush on her)

This is how the book signing ended...in pitch black after a power failure. Imagine 1,000 women in one room when the lights abruptly go out. Man, what a RIOT!

Reviewer’s Choice Award Luncheon
RT2088_Award_ceremonyarrow AwardCeremony_Nat

Can you see me? I’m there, easy to spot since I have a giant yellow arrow pointing at my head. I wonder where they got such a huge prop...

One of my books (DamNATION) won an award for 2007 Best Science Fiction (under the erotic romance category). My heart was pounding so hard as I waited for my turn that my neighbor must have heard it. Apparently (I’m not sure, I don’t remember much of the event), I didn’t make a fool of myself more than usual, was actually funny and didn’t lose my English. Neither did I do a face plant. So I say that’s a good day! Want to read what kind of book wins an RT award? Read the blurb here!

I was a happy camper.

I don’t remember the names of these two lovelies, but aren’t they gorgeous! The one to the right designed and created all that green shiny goodness.
Update: Her name in Jeanette!!

Ellora’s Cave Golden Age of Hollywood Gala!
The Hussies and the Gentlemen. Hey, that could be a book, man! Here we are, surrounded by handsome men...we have a hard life. From left to right, the Hussies are: Sahara, me, Ciana, and Nicole. Front row of gentlemen to the left is Rodney, a.k.a. Mr. Wonderful. Very last row, Big John. Middle row, from left to right: (sorry, don’t know the first one’s name), then Kimo to my right, Lorenzo to my left, and another unknown-to-me gentleman to Nic’s left. Opposite Mr. Wonderful is Christian with the long tresses.
