The World's Best Romance Authors at the Romance Writers of America (RWA) National Conference in Dallas, TX with our Hummer Limo.

On Friday night at the Romance Writers of America national convention in Dallas, TX, all the Warner authors went out to dinner. We met in the lobby of the hotel, and the gorgeous Kelley St. John said:

"I got us a hummalimo."

Well, Kelley's from Alabama, so those of us north of, say, Georgia, were like:

"A what?"

Kelley:

"A hummalimo."

Well, this went on a while before we finally figured out that Kelley had rented all of us A HUMMER LIMOUSINE. Oh....

What fun.

I'm in the middle in the white and brown dress, and yes, I cut my hair, that's why I'm hard to spot and I look like my head's too small. Behind me is the amazing Elizabeth Hoyt and in front of me is the extremely talented Megan Crane.

Here's the crew from front to back:

Michelle Rowen

Annie Solomon (who later won a Rita!)

Karen Rose

(Um...not sure who that is. Geez, I'm a lousy networker...my memory lapse had nothing to do with excessive alcohol consumption.)

Susan Crandall

Megan Crane

ME!!! Okay, so the short haircut makes me look a little pin-headish. IT was an experiment...

Elizabeth Hoyt.

Sherryl Bodine

Samantha Graves

Kelley St. John

Shelley Bates

All these women are remarkable, so check them out.
