readers

If you read or write romance and spend any time online at all, you probably know that the Romance Writers of America national conference was last week.  Most of us who attended are still recovering from masquerading as an extrovert, foregoing sleep and consuming enough chocolate to save a third-world country.

This year’s conference in DC rocked on so many levels!  The city was a great place to explore, the hotel was beautiful with wonderfully accommodating employees, and the conference events I attended were educational and inspirational. 

As I sit in front of my computer dreaming up new stories to feed my writing muse and entertain readers, I have to smile. When I first started writing, I thought I'd never find enough to write about. Boy, was I wrong!

Next month (Feb '09), there is a conference in NYC called The Tools Of Change (TOC) For Publishing. Some of what they will discuss is eBooks! For one of the workshops, they'd like to know what we readers think!!

So, here's a link to the survey that they've created -- which they've called "Smart Women Read eBooks" !! Isn't that great of them? Let me know if you complete it and if it generates any thoughts that you'd like to share here or in the eBook Discussion Forum.

I recently read this quote, and thought you, as fellow readers, would appreciate it.

"Any book lover knows, books lose their solidity of substance and become a gas, filling all available space." - John Derbyshire

Okay, so a friend and fellow book lover of mine recently made this startling confession to me...

She is a peeker.

That's right.

Presently, I have an Internet presence at my website, MySpace, my official blog (at Blogger), the group blog Babes in Bookland, and here at eHarlequin. I've been updating and revising my sites. I've been pondering what works best, content-wise, at each site. What works for one may not work for all. 

Hi, I'm Betty and I want to start my first blog  by telling everyone how I came to love romance reading.
