Amy Lane – Andrew Q. Gordon

Selfies From Orlando

Every year Dreamspinner Press has an Workshop for its authors. Each year more and more people attend. Last year, in Portland, I started taking selfies with people. So I continued the ‘tradition’ this year.

Not the best of me, but J.P. Barnaby looks great!

Amy Lane agreed to be seen with me. (Yes she’s that lovely!)

The ‘tradition’ continues – Shae Connor and I.

You’ve made it when you’re in a selfie with Rick R. Reed.

K.C. Wells is a brave woman being in so many pictures with me.

Grace R. Duncan was stepping out in style so I needed a picture.

Thankfully Lex Chase looks good, cause I look stupid in this one.

Eden Winters – is such a wonderful person.

So SJD Peterson and I aren’t that orange in real life, the lighting sucked, but that is SO JO! Always smiling.

Rhys Ford let me interrupt for another selfie.

Taking a selfie with ‘the man’ Damon Suede.

Just because she’s fabulous – another one with Amy.

Poppy Denison and I finally chatted, so i needed a picture.

One of my favorite people, Wade Kelly. This is so her, always upbeat and happy.

Ha, poor Poppy, I cornered her for another one.

The new ‘tradition’ photo – Elizabeth North, K.C. and I. We took this last year, but this one is better.

Last year and at GRL Lane Hayes avoided my camera, this year we got our picture.

But the coming home one with my best girl is still my favorite.

GRL ’14 and Me – In Pictures

This was my first GRL and well I might have taken a few too many pictures, but I had a great time and I wanted to share a few (yes, there are way more than these). The videos didn’t fit in the gallery so I added them at the end.

The amazing Edmond Manning Reading from the Butterfly King

K.C. and me out to celebrate her birthday.

Two of my favorite ladies – K.C. and J.P. Barnaby

Allison Hickman and me getting our green on.

Shira Anthony letting every hear her amazing voice.

Karokee – while it couldn’t compete with Shira, it was a lot of fun.

Pearl Love channeling her inner Whitney Houston, and Pearl can sing!

K.C. was my good luck charm, I had quite a run when she was at my side.

I can’t vouch for the photographer, but that really is me and Amy Lane.

Edmond Manning agreed to be seen with me.

I cornered Becky Condit and got this shot.

My one and only with Dani Elle. At least we can see her.

Shae Connor danced with me and gave me luck at poker. Can’t do GRL without her.

My conference buddy and life line – Randi Latko. Thank you for helping e survive.

That was me.

Allison and I muggin it up for the last selfie of my GRL.

This is what coming home looks like for me.

J.P. Found a new way to draw attention to me. It was. . .interesting to have this happen all the time. 😀

Seeing Amy Lane at the signing, well, we got a bit carried away.

If there was a better way to end GRL, I can’t think of what it would be.

Kids and Christmas—What Santa Doesn’t Tell You

Even though my oldest son was born on December 12^th, let’s face it—that first Christmas was sort of a bust from his end, and the second wasn’t much better. I mean, long hours, lots of people, too much noise, too much excitement, and too many people not-the-mama or want-the-daddy are trying to hold you—how awesome can Christmas really be for the very very tiny? The adults are losing their minds. “Ohmigosh! It’s a toddler in a Santa hat, couldn’t you just die!” And seriously—you add a kitten to the picture or a puppy or hell, even a gold fish in a bowl with red and green rocks, and, yes, sugar shock will set in and we will really die of absolute cute—and what a way to go!

But for the little kid? Continue reading Holiday Blog Event: Amy Lane – What Santa Doesn’t Tell You
