THE CREW ASKS: What was your favorite part of the 2010 RWA National Conference?


MAUREEN:

Hands down, the RITA night. I didn't win my category but it was so fabulous to see so many friends walk up onto that stage, including fellow bloggers, Angi Morgan and Cat Schield.

But the real thrill for me was my critique partner and long-time BFF Molly O"Keefe winning a RITA!

Here are some snaps from that night.

Eileen Rendahl, (aka Eileen Carr), kissing Molly O'Keefe who's holding her lovely RITA

The gals from the Drunk Writer Talk blog (missing the elusive Sinead M.) celebrating in the lobby. Maureen McGowan, Molly O'Keefe, Eileen Rendahl, Stephanie Doyle.

A close second for favorite moment has to be the the Harlequin party. I was so lucky that I got an invite. What a fun night.

Here's me at the party with Harlequin Historical author, and critique partner, Ann Lethbridge who also won a published Daphne that week!

And one with Harlequin authors: Molly O'Keefe, Brenda Harlen, Stephanie Doyle and Ann Lethbridge admiring the lovely flower arrangements.
