Where you’ll find me…

In the upcoming year. You know, if you had a hankering to buy me a drink (I like gin and tonic–good gin, only please, chocolate or apple martinis, and margaritas). Or if you’re my husband and you’re wondering when it’s safe to have your girlfriend over.

April 3-6 Desert Dreams Conference, Arizona
April 14-18 Romantic Times Convention, Pittsburgh (I’ll be there Monday through Friday only)

May 23-25 local RWA Florida chapter weekend (it’s really close to Disney World. Think I can make a break for it?)

June 5-8 Lori Foster Get Together, Cincinnati

July 28-August 3 RWA Nationals, San Francisco

August 11-August 25 New Zealand and Australia Romance conferences

October 9-12 Emerald City RWA conference
October 24-26 NJRW conference

November 7-9 Chesapeake/Virginia combined RWA conference

Um. That’s all. I hope my family doesn’t disown me and/or forget what I look like. Would you believe I turned down quite a few offers for the year? I’ve also got a family reunion in North Dakota the week before nationals–I fly from the reunion to nationals. But hey! I’ll have some kickin’ frequent flyer miles.

    I will be at RT! Will have to stalk…er come up and say Hi LOL.

    I’m also a member of VRW, and am excited about that workshop already.

  3. Alyssa February 29, 2008 at 1:46 pm #

    I’ll see you in San Francisco. :)

  4. Michelle (MG) February 29, 2008 at 1:51 pm #

    Oooh, I get to see you twice this year. I’ll be at Nationals and hopefully presenting a workshop at the Emerald City conference. I can buy you the drink I was going to buy Jaci before she told me she wouldn’t be at Nationals this year.

    Have you tried Lemon Drop martinis yet? So good.

    PS: I still can’t get the smilies to work :-(

    All these nice people wishing you well and I’m focused on the G&T. Me too, only good gin. Maybe I’ll see you in the bar in SF? The first one’s on me.

    I’m so glad you’re coming down to NZ, although my timing is rotten. I’m going to be in the US.

    I’m jealous of the trips to NZ and Australia, especially as I look at the 5′ piles of snow lining my driveway. Have fun for us!

  16. Lauren March 3, 2008 at 8:23 pm #

    Whooo! All the Angie you can shake a stick at.

  17. Marcia March 3, 2008 at 9:45 pm #

    What? No Moonlight and Magnolias? :sigh:

  18. Angie March 3, 2008 at 9:55 pm #

    I wasn’t invited to Moonlight and Magnolias. Maybe somebody from their chapter should tell them to invite me next year :P

    Most of the smaller conferences you see listed, I’m attending because the conference committee extended an invitation, and generally offered to pay conference and/or travel fees and food.

  19. Jenna Bayley-Burke March 5, 2008 at 1:08 am #

    I’m missing RWA, but I’ll be at Emerald City! I am a bit jealous you get to do Oz…I’m going to get there someday.

About Me


Angela James

There is nothing worse than writing a bio. And writing one for your blog sidebar? Blech. Maybe you landed here via Google, followed me from Twitter (does that make you a stalker?) or maybe we met at a conference or you clicked a link from a comment I made at a blog you visited. Hopefully whatever I said didn't make you so mad you came looking for a picture to throw darts at (yep, that's me up above, in my favorite cowboy hat) but instead drove you to find out more about the amazingly witty and intelligent person behind the amazingly witty and intelligent comment.

However you found me, who you found is Angela James, executive editor of Carina Press, Harlequin's new digital-first press. I'm passionate about digital publishing, my mission is to drag people to the digital dark side, one reader (and author) at a time. I'm also Brianna's mommy. At my blog you'll get an odd mix of personal and professional posts about parenting, publishing, books, cooking, sewing and life in general. Come back often, comment frequently and go green—buy ebooks!

Please note that this is my personal blog and my opinions are neither that of Harlequin, nor representative of their opinions.

Find Me Here

First, I blog once or twice a week at theCarina Press blog, talking about the job, the authors, the books and other things Carina Press. And, of course, you can always find me on Twitter. Or Facebook, if you prefer (mostly the same content, one feeds the other). I also run the Carina Press Twitter and Facebook accounts. Social media, it's where it's at (well, it's where I'm at, anyway).
