RWA Conference

I'm back from conference. And I'm delighted to say that I met both my goals to meet agent Lucienne Diver of the Knight Agency and Pocket Editor Micky Nuding.

I had the most enjoyable and most productive conference . . . EVER. And I've been going to RWA National for many, many years. The hotel staff at the Marriott Downtown San Francisco was the best -- from the bellhop to the housekeeper to the concierge (Hi, Ed!) to the front desk staff (Thanks for all your help, Hugo!).

I tried Cambodian food for the first time, thanks to Harry & Susan Squires. (Harry wrote WHAT ROUGH BEAST as H.R. Knight.) The Angkor Borei Restaurant was off the beaten path but highly recommended. Check it out at http://www.cambodiankitchen.com/. The food was phenomenal! I also enjoyed the Thai beer! Thanks Harry & Susan!!

One of my roommates, Randi Jorgensen and I went with her ex-husband Chris to his favorite restaurant. The Irish Bank is a block or two from Chinatown, and down a little alley. Check it out at http://www.theirishbank.com/. I had the best Sheperd's Pie!! And a terrific Irish beer called Smithwicks.

Now that I've spent all my time writing about the locale, I'll have to write about the actual writing conference next time!!
