Oh my goodness. The things I say "Yes" to...
I'm going to be at the World Horror Convention in March - not just as a fangirl but as an author. *Breaks out in a cold sweat*
I'm going to be doing a public reading! It's not just me, though: there are four of us from Black Lace: Olivia Knight, Mathilde Madden, Kristina Lloyd and myself. We've got a 2-hour slot on the Saturday night to read filthy excerpts from the dark and paranormal end of our writing portfolios. Attendees can expect werewolves, vampires and the restless dead. In fact I'm pretty sure wicked Lord Montague from my Cruel Enchantment collection is going to have to get an outing - if only because it's the only context I could read that story out loud without
I am an old-fashioned horror fan: I love James* and Lovecraft and Machen and Ligotti, and it's going to be amazing to mingle with other fans and writers. But I've never done a public reading before. I'm immensely excited and just a bit terrified. If I meet Tanith Lee I'll probably faint.
All credit goes to Mathilde, who organised everything. Oh oh oh oh!!! (fades off into incoherence...)

Oh wow! Can I touch you (no! just you know, the hem of your garment or something)?
I think I might try and make my way down there myself...
Gratz!!
lol! :-D
Oh man, this sounds like such so much fun.
I'm definitely starting to get the feeling that I'm living on the wrong side of the Atlantic here - especially when it comes to all the cool erotica events.
LoL!
That's funny Wintersinger, you've got the RWA etc - it is way easier to meet writers in the states, I thought!
Huge and horrifyingly hairy congrats to all of you!
Ugh—that's a rather disgusting image, isn't it? Anyway, I meant it nicely! : )
Oh, wow, that sounds awesome. Congrats, Janine! You'll be great!
That is so cool! I'm sure you'll "knock 'em dead."
I bet that will be a LOT of fun.
Sorry to be late in replying guys - my internet server went down yesterday afternoon. Thank you for your votes of confidence! Yes, it's going to be fun. I'm looking forward to making a fool of myself in the name of smut!
That is absolutely fantastic news. I haven't really done any writing conferences (need something published to feel right there), but it is great to hear you going. Wrong side of the ocean for me though. *pout*
ah thats so cool..wish i could be there too and hear you and kristina..:-/
oh..and please..bringe me taniths emailaddy..lol..love her stuff and read her since i was..hm..8??????
That's funny Wintersinger, you've got the RWA etc...
That's American though - we don't have anything like that in the province I live in. I've been a devoted fan of the genre for decades and there's never been so much as an erotica/romance book signing in my hometown.
:(
Oh, sorry Wintersinger - I'm very bad at identifying accents!
;-)
I wish you could all be there. We should so have a smutwriters convention one day. I'm not the first to say it and I won't be the last!
Good for you, Janine! Knock em' dead (pun intended). :-)
