So many books, so many pictures... Waaaaaaa!!! I wanna go back to Daytona, LOL!!

It's hard to believe I left for RT last week this time.

The conference blew by so fast, yet it seems like it took way more than a week to do everything. I'm glad everyone's liking the pics of the promo items and the conference. I have more to share today, until the blogger starts acting up again.

As promised, here's the list of books I picked up. There some amazing titles and authors here, but I'll never have time to read them. So, sucks to be me, but my online buddies are in luck. Until all the loot is gone, I'll pick a winner each day from the previous day's comments. The winner can pick a favorite book and I'll throw in a promo item. And the titles are:

• Desire After Dark--Amanda Ashley
• Count Down-Iris Johansen
• Darker Than Midnight--Maggie Shayne
• Hunting Fear--Kay Hooper
• The Naked Marquis--Sally MacKenzie
• Code Name: Blonde--Christina Skye
• The Dark One--Ronda Thompson
• On Blue Falls Pond--Susan Crandall
• The Duchess Diaries--Barbara Dawson Smith
• Chill of Fear (Hard Cover!!!)--Kay Hooper

And yesterday's winner is...Bamabelle (Zara) !!!

So pick a book, and I'll load your priority mail box tonight. I'm determined to get prizes out on time this week--for once, I'm not staring down a deadline while running an online give away. Sigh...it's good to be free ;O)

Okay, enough of the administrative stuff. Let's talk about Romantic Times and why you HAVE to go to Housten next year.

I know you ladies LOVE prizes, and there are so many to win in the Club RT hospitality suite. There's never enough room for all the loot the first few days of the conerence. Here's Tina Smith, a bookseller, and the beach bag she won from me!!

And just in case you don't believe I was actually working while I was there, some friends and I threw an ice cream social for about 100 book sellers, gave away more goodies, and smoozed with the ladies who position our books in their stores.

Then, of course, we HAD to go to the evening events and work hard to appear to be having a good time dancing and hanging out with the...yeah, you guessed it...cover models.

Jason Santiago and Devon Yala swept me off my feet ;O)

During the day, the scenery was amazing!!!

This is Rodney Chatman, already a successful cover model, who won the Mr. Romance competition...and we can all see why. He's definitely easy on the eyes.

Every time you stepped out to the beach, beautiful men were lining up to have their picture taken. Don't you LOVE model volley ball???

It was watching my favorite scene from Top Gun up close and in person ;O)
