I’m ba-ack!
The PW conference was wonderful. Lisa Scottoline is a dynamic speaker. She had many of us all fired up and ready to work twice as hard as soon as we returned home.
I’ll touch on a few of the highlights tonight but due to complete exhaustion–I am not a Lark, I’m an Owl–I’ll be brief, this time. (More to come later.)
The weekend lived up to our high expectations. Pennwriters has never failed to send me home eager and ready to put my posterior into my chair and work.
Here are a two examples to whet your appetites…
John Lamb’s session, Homicide 101, fantastic. If you ever have a chance to hear this retired homicide detective speak, DO NOT HESITATE, GO!
Nancy Martin, always a firebrand and her sessions are never a disappointment. You can find her over on The Lipstick Chronicles.
If you’ve read my Doggoned Dead excerpt you will find that I’ve rewritten the first chapter. Yes, this may have been “my vacation” but you will see that it was a working vacation.
Now dear readers I’m going to pay some attention to Dear Hubby who made my conference trip a reality, give my happy-that-mom-is-home pups plenty of hugs, smooches, and cuddles, and then I’ll get some much needed sleep.

Thank you! I am happy to be home. Details will be doled out a few at a time–Hey, I needed blog material and now I have some that I can streeeetch out over time. 😉
Welcome back..!!! OMG I am so jealous I love Lisa Scottoline and I have read most of her books. Glad you are home safe and sound. Did not see anything on YouTube so you must have not had to many for us lol.
LOL! No, no YouTube. I had fun but there was no table dancing or knee walking.
Lisa is a wonderful person. If you get a chance to go to one of her book signings, do go. You won’t regret it.
Hi Doggoned,
Good to see you back! I attended the Anhinga Writers Conference (last 12 years it was Marjorie K Rawlings Conference until renamed). It’s a great conference held in Gainesville, FL the end of July. Check it on the net. http://www.sandysays1.wordpress.com
Hi Sandy!
I’m so happy to be home and welcomed back by all my dear friends and readers.
There’s nothing quite like a writers’ conference to get one all fired up again. Life at home had become hectic. I did need to have some time away to socialize with other writers and light the fire again.
I wish I could afford and have time to attend more than one conference a year. I do take full advantage of the one that I do attend. One never knows it all and can always learn more.
Hugs!
