I'm back! Well... sort of... I have a bunch of grading and other stuff to do so I'll still be visiting the blogesphere a little less frequently. But I made it back from Chicago on Sunday evening. I had a wonderful time at the Slam Jam. I met up with lots of author and reader friends that I only see once a year at the Slam. And I met lots of friends from the blogesphere for the very first time. My workshop on setting the scene went over well. My intimate session with readers was really nice. I only had one weird experience during the reader session. But it wasn't enough to put a damper on an otherwise excellent conference. The highlight for me was doing "Rapper's Delight" during Karaoke at the Ole School Jam. I'll have pictures soon. But if you can't wait for my pictures check out the following blog posts. I have also listed the Emma Award winners below. Congrats to all the winners! I'm happy to announce that the anthology I am a part of, Cuffed by Candlelight won the Emma for Favorite Anthology. Yay! :-) Okay, I need to go grade papers. See y'all soon.

Congrats Gwyneth on the Emma. Looks like everybody had a good time.

Congratulations,
sounds like you had fun!
angelia
Congratulations!
Gwyneth,
Looks like no one recorded the Inspirational Romance winner. Who was it?
Michelle
Thanks, Shelia, Tiffany, Angelia, and Laura!
Michelle ~ They had to cancel the inspirational category because they only got one of the books. The other nominees didn't send their books. They ended up giving Pat Simmons who wrote the inspirational novel Guilty of Love a special award in Katherine D. Jones name. But Pat had to leave before the closing passing the torch ceremony so they didn't give it to her at the conference. But they decided to close the category since Pat Simmons was the only one who sent her book to be judged. Personally, I think she should have won by default.
Gwyneth
Congratulations on winning the Emma for the anthology, Gwyneth. :*)
Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. Stop on over. ;*)
Woo hoo! An Emma to your credit. That's wonderful. Congrats!
I hope you have a video of you rhyming...
Beverly Jenkins does not play, does she? LOL.
The highlight for me was doing "Rapper's Delight" during Karaoke at the Ole School Jam. Always will remember how you are seriously up on your old school hip hop game.
Glad that you enjoyed yourself, and the one weird experience was nothing.
Big congratulations on the Emma!!! Love the new look of your blog. (I really gotta get back to my daily blog reading...)
Congratulations on winning an Emma Award, Gwyneth! And it was wonderful to see you in person. Thanks so much for your support.
Thanks for clearing up the mystery. Unfortunately in most contests, no one wins if a situation like what occurred happens.
Hope you're going to take some time to smell the roses and celebrate your win.
Michelle
Thanks for the link to WriteBlack!
I had a great time at Romance Slam Jam, and don't know why I'd always chickened out on going in the past.
And congratulations on the Emma Award! I was so happy to see the CbC won, because it was such a great anthology.
Tyhitia ~ I will be visiting more once grades are in...
Chicki ~ Nope... No video... :-(
Don ~ She did the damn thang! She had two excellent novels out this past year so the awards were well-earned.
Nancy ~ Thanks... the blog will hopefully be changing soon...
Bettye ~ Thanks!
Michelle ~ Your welcome!
Anika ~ Thank you for the video reports of the conference! That's such a cool idea. For all of you who want to see a cool report on the conference you should check out the link for Anika's blog Write Black.
