This has been one of the best Saturdays on record.
First, I went to my monthly Georgia Romance Writers meeting.
I hugged Kendall Grey, who until this morning was just a name and a face on Twitter, and learned that Anju Gattani, whom I "shared" with Carla Fredd at the critique workshop in March, has found a publisher. Yay for hugging a new friend! Yay for finding a publisher!
Next Barbara Vey and Dianna Love presented a wonderful program called "Building Reader Loyalty."

After their presentation, I bought Dianna's book Blood Trinity, my first venture into paranormal romance. Bryonna Nobles-Stern and several others gave it a rave review, so I am eager to dig into it.
Then, after a quick stop at my Lindy Chaffin Start's house for lunch (thanks for the veggie burger, Lindy!) I was off to Piano Works in Duluth for Natalie Hardy's student piano recital. We played a two-piano piece called Libertango by Astor Piazzolla and then I accompanied her on the final movement of Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor. It is always a thrill to play on that Bosendorfer grand. I will try to post videos next week.
Natalie Hardy and Me
After the recital, Natalie's family included me in their celebratory meal at La Cazuela in Lawrenceville. I tried their cerviche - delicious! - and had a wonderful shrimp fajita quesadilla.
Now I'm headed out for a glass of wine and a bit of live music before sleepy time. The perfect finish to a perfect day.

Sometimes a good day is a busy day. The Kendall Grey Tweetup was my favorite part. :)

I missed you, Tami, and hope you are feeling better. I couldn't stop writing if I tried. See you soon!
Hi Pam
Congratulations on the PRO STATUS! That's the way to go and the first of many steps to getting there. Thanks so much for mentioning me in your blog... it's been quite a journey and still is. I just hope I was able to pass the message of 'hope' to other writers. I wish you every success and am grateful I got to share Carala at the critique and meet with you!

Thank you so much for stopping by, Anju! Your speech was very inspiring; I cannot wait to get an autographed copy of your book in my hands, and I wish you continued success!
