Harlequin Party, RWA 2010

Posted on July 31, 2010 by Victoria Janssen

The dance floor was small, but lively!

Beverly Jenkins does air electric guitar.

My new cover flashed on the screen! Then I waited fifteen minutes, camera in hand, until it came up again, so I could take a picture.

More dancing.

    Thanks, Saskia, Amanda, Jina, & Joy! I give all credit for the fab cover to Kathleen Oudit.

    Wendy, I totally agree.

    Kristi, I looked for you later on but couldn't find you. Was good to see you, though, however briefly!

    Jenna, you're welcome!

    A wonderful night! I can't get over how out of all the HQN covers, they picked yours and Amanda Berry's to show off at the party!

    That was an incredible party. And I recall seeing your cover flash up on the big screen at least FIVE times throughout the evening. 'Picture Perfect' was a great theme for the night.

    AztecLady, I am desolate because I didn't get to see you. I think this means that when next we meet, we shall realize how we have always loved each other, and that we are destined to be together. (If only we were not prevented by an Evil Baron and our own Childhood Angst!)

    Elaine, FIVE times! Woo! I stopped watching after my obsessive 15 minutes.

    Hey Victoria. I wondered if anyone had a pic of me and my "guitar". Enjoyed sitting next to you at the Literary signing. I wonder if anyone has pic of the "guitar" duet Nora and I did. Thanks for making me smile. B
