To say that I had an absolute blast at the 2013 Reader Author Get Together this year would be an understatement. I had a HUMONGOUS BLAST at RAGT.
Where can you find a gathering of authors and readers so intimate that you truly feel like best friends by the end of the three days?
I'm proud to say that my second RAGT was my most productive conference as as writer --even though I attended as a reader. My goal was not to focus on my writing, but to simply soak in the glow of fangirling all of my favorite writers. Take a peek below and see who I managed to bump into!

So let me tell you a little about Robyn Peterman. Remember when I said I was going to attend RAGT as a READER? Well Robyn and her fabulous group of author buddies offered a workshop to help authors with their Pitch. I had no intention on attending. But I did. Robyn welcomed me with open arms...and then proceed to rip me and new one for not having a pitch ready LOL. But as the gracious role model that she is -- she gave me and another lady homework. We were to draft our pitch THAT WEEKEND and find her and run it by her. What? Like This. Weekend?
Well I did it. And Robyn did it too. I can honestly state that Robyn Peterman saved my Pitch life. She worked with me one on one and helped my fine tune my written ramblings into a spunky kick-azz pitch that had me glowing from the inside out! I mean she took my words and gave them life and gave me the confidence I needed to really bring out my story to potential agents and editors. I was on Cloud 9 for the rest of the weekend!
It just goes to show that sometimes - even when you have the best intentions to do one thing - something else comes along and totally flips your world. Thanks Robyn! I'll never forget your kindness!
