RWA Finale

Aloha!  We have a winner from last week's posts - CKCrouch!


The batteries in my camera ran low (and I left my charger in Hawaii).  Elf from THE READING ADDICT (at this link) took some pictures for me: 

Yum ... "cover" cookies at the Kensington Party!

Happy Hour with Cara Elliott and Vicky Dreiling
at the Grand Central Publishing signing.

Barbara Vey also took excellent pictures, which she posted on BEYOND HER BOOK (at this link).   I borrow this picture of my friend Anne Elizabeth ... 

... and I tease you with one more from my camera - Julia Quinn!

A good time was had by all!   Now I am frantically cleaning house as my mother arrives this week for an extended visit.  If you came to visit me, what would you like to see in the State of Hawaii?  Remember the six accessible islands (oldest to youngest, Northwest to Southeast):  Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and the Big Island of Hawaii.  One randomly selected commenter from this week's blogs wins a book choice from my convention stash.  This giveaway is open to all readers.  Comments are open through Saturday, August 11, 10 pm in Hawaii.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, August 12.


Mahalo,

Moving trucks flood my neighborhood ... 

.... the movers who packed my husband's stuff!
