D.C. should be much more "relaxing," at least in terms of Wendy Doing Her Librarian Thang. Why? I broke a land-speed record in securing three authors for the romance panel for my library's fourth annual literary event in April 2010.
Once again, I've outdone myself. See how modest I am? My only goal in securing the romance fiction panel is that I get authors who all write "different." Which means every year I shoot for historical, contemporary and paranormal representatives. I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep this up indefinitely, but so far this is the third time I've managed to pull it off.
As for the mystery panels I'm supposed to be working on? Well, they're almost done. I really only need to secure one more author, which I'm thinking will have to wait until after I get back from vacation. Still, it's all shaping up quite nicely.

If we run into one another, I will ask you for more category recs, as I've liked your recs so far.
So excited about the panel! Hope I run into you in DC.
Ahhh - now you can sit back and enjoy the conference without having to worry about finding authors. And of course look forward to fun with your room mates. That`s a big plus to look forward to - heh heh heh heh heh
Victoria: Well that was nice to hear, because I was beginning to think I was losing my touch. Ha! I think you've gotten all the recent recs. Will have to jog my memory for "older" stuff before D.C.
Tessa: I know, I'm excited too! I know it's going to be a fabulous panel. And I'm planning to stop by and say hello at the Lit. Signing!
Kristie: You know I always love hanging with my roommates....and having long discussions on why the soul mates theme is E-V-I-L.
Good job Wendy! And great authors to boot. :P
Hope to see you at the Literacy signing! :)
Ames: There are several really great RWA chapters here in So. Cal. So I have lots of choices when it comes to begging :)
Michelle: I'll definitely stop by to see you. And awesome cover for the new book! Very sexy!
I hope to see you at RWA if I'm not totally overwhelmed (this'll be my first). I'm definitely going to the Literacy Autographing. I'm strongly considering applying for a Masters in Library and Information Sciences this year, so it'd be nice to ask questions of a librarian who loves romance as much as I do. :)
Wendy: Romance Reader. Super Librarian. Miracle Worker. :)
Good job Wendy :) It's fun when you can just relaxed and focus on the trip and the fun you're going to have and not think about work :D
I hope you enjoy the trip... you're so lucky, you're 5th time!!!:D I'm so jealous!
AnimeJune: Yes, yes - feel free to pepper me with questions. If we don't have time to chat at RWA about it - just drop me an e-mail.
Catie: Ha!
Nath: Last year was definitely more "work" than usual. This year? Not so much. The trick will be keeping my dance card in order. My schedule is starting to fill up a bit now....
