My first autographing for my plotting workshop CD. Flanked on my left by Lise Fuller and on my right by Gretchen Craig. Fun chatting with them!


Shared Friday evening dinner with new friends, Terry McLaughlin and Jennifer Welch. Terry and I had talked before online so it was great to finally meet her. Jennifer and I exchanged stories about our birds.


More Friday night dinner pals, friends and CRW members Valerie Brinkworth, Kathy Fronheiser, and Brenda Ellis strike a pose!


It’s time to announce the winners of CRW’s Award of Excellence Contest for published writers! Mary Webster begins with her categories while I present the trophies at our Saturday awards luncheon.


My turn to present CRW Award of Excellence Contest trophies for my categories. I was thrilled to present a trophy to Gretchen Craig who sat next to me at the Friday autographing. Keeping mum until Saturday was a challenge!


Gal pal and critique partner, Cindy Woolf, gave her all to her craft at the conference! She even spared a moment to read the pitch cards I’d written for BROKEN WINGS, the story I pitched to Rose Hilliard at St. Martins Press.


BROKEN WINGS walked away with 3rd place in CRW’s Heart of the Rockies Contest! [2007 Romancing the Rockies Conference]


CRW President, Michele Chambers, surprised me with a 2006 Casey Award as a chapter volunteer. [2007 Romancing the Rockies Conference]
