Another GRL has come and gone and we are now counting down the days to GRL 2016 in Kansas City. I'm always amazed by how many things I want to do, people I want to chat and spend time with, and don't get to. I did get to hang out with old friends, and make a few new ones this year. But I also got to meet a ton of readers and fans of my work, that is always such a blessing.
Highlights of this trip for me were finally getting to meet Dani Elle Maas of Love Bytes Reviews, she is just the sweetest gal! I'm so happy that she is thinking of attending again next year.

Meeting two of my favorite narrators, Sean Crisden and Greg Tremblay.
Let me just say, their voices aren't their only sultry, sexy attributes.

The Rock God herself, Ann Lister. Ann is a ray of sunshine I tell you, always smiling and happy, and the woman can dance. Her and Scott Burkett of GGR spent almost as much time on the dance floor as they did off.

I have to give a couple shout outs. First, the quirky duo that is LA Witt and Ann Zabo. They hosted a fun faire for Supporting Authors and I had way too much fin playing naughty pictionary. Let me just say, CB Lee and I kicked ass, just sayin...
My fellow Indie Authors at the Indie Pub table, you all rock, especially Mercy Celeste for coming up with the idea to snag us a couple of tables, and Arshad Ahsanuddin for taking charge and getting the payments, schedule etc set up and running smoothly.
And last but definitely not least, my girls AE Via, Morticia Knight, Jamie Lynn Miller and Kimberly Spinney. Our trips to the high dollar store in the blistering heat, late nights and early mornings, and that amazing trip to the San Diego Zoo making memories ladies, making memories! Lest we forget the bed hopping, shoe incident. I think I pea'd my pants, seriously.

I'm super excited and anxious for next years GRL. Since KC is only 8 hours from Texas, Kimberly and I are going to have a road trip. I will finally get to introduce my seester and my PA to all my GRL friends as well since they are joining us on the road. Just 350 days or so to go! I look forward to seeing all my peeps, making new friends, meeting more of my fans and seeing if Hans Hirschi can make me cry at his reading for the 3rd year in a row!
Carol Lynn, Ethan Day, Reese Dante and her lovely Hubs, thank you all for putting so much time, blood, sweat and tears into this yearly convention. We couldn't make all the memories we do if the 4 of you didn't offer up your time to make it all happen and make it all amazing!
Of course I brought some goodies back with me from the Swag Room. I have a box that is literally stuffed to the gills with swag from some of the amazing Authors that attended GRL this year, would you like to be the owner of said box?
