Dreamin' in Dallas Conference

For the two of you who don't know, I'm the conference coordinator for Dreamin' in Dallas, which is an event hosted by the Dallas chapter of Romance Writers of America. This is a crazy, awesome conference, y'all!

The event kicks off on Friday night at 7pm with a booksigning that is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and FREE to enter. Books will be available for purchase at the event, and there will also be a cash bar. Because, let's face it, you can't have a room full of authors without a room full of alcohol.

BUT...IT GET'S EVEN BETTER
Because Saturday morning, Richelle Mead is going to be the Keynote Breakfast Speaker, and kick all of our writerly butts in to gear and get us motivated for the rest of the day. After breakfast we'll head off to three different tracks of workshops. Jo Davis, Allison Brennan, Margie Lawson, Richelle Mead, Jaye Wells, Dean Lorey, Lorraine Heath, and Julia London will be imparting their vast knowledge and wisdom on a variety of different topics.
