I got back from Dragon Con last week, and as usual, a great time was had. I loved seeing all the readers who came to my panels and signings. I also got to catch up with BFF Ilona Andrews who was also there, and I was honored to accept an award on Charlaine Harris' behalf for her novel, ALL THE DEAD … [Read more...] about Recap, finished, and collage
