Wow.
...incidentally, anyone read the Elizabeth Peters whodunnit about a Romance Writers' Convention? With, iirc, Jacqueline Kirby? I thoroughly enjoyed it. I forget the title, though.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I did! It's Die for Love.

I've read it, too, Fay, and there's a sequelish thing called "Naked Once More." Though I'm very often tempted to smack Jaqueline.

Yes! I read Naked Once More too. I liked these two books much more than the couple of Vicky Bliss stories I've attempted. Although not quite as much as the Amelia Peabody ones.

I like Vicky more than Jacqueline, because Vicky doesn't strike me as being as arrogant. Plus Vicky's got that sincere "I am so sick of being a six-foot blonde Valkyrie, I want to be tiny!" thing. And, of course, John and Schmidt. "Night Train to Memphis" was fun.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Huh. Thought for a moment there I'd wandered into Literary....
Susan, I thought Crusie's letter about the awards clusterfuck - the tack she took, the points she made - was one of the most perfect things I've seen in years. What a mess.

Tomorrow morning is going to be interesting; I've got a Mystery Writers of America special breakfast for the NorCal membership, and the guest speaker is Lyssa Keusch, Senior Editor at Avon/Morrow HarperCollins.
She's going to be allowing a series of mini-pitches. I've just left Jenn a message: if I get the opportunity, should I pitch the Kinkaid Chronicles?
Then dinner with Sparky and Lee and JohnSweden tomorrow night. It's going to be a fun, fun day.

Next weekend - I'm going down to San Diego, we will hang out all day and all of the night Saturday at the hotel. Sunday, I get to spend the entire day with Cass - my flight back isn't until eight.
I'm soooooooooo looking forward to this. Dying to meet Sandra, dying to see Cass. Woot!
And bringing prosecco for both.
