I attended the yearly Romance Reader's Luncheon held at the Governor's Hotel in downtown Portland this year. The luncheon was catered by Jake's, which is a very nice seafood restaurtant. There were ~200 people there, so it was set up in one of the larger conference rooms. The guest speaker was Suzanne Macpherson and there were at least 30 other authors there. It was really fun!! The author at my table was Ann Roth (for real!!) and I got to sit right next to her and talk to her the whole time. She was the nicest lady and I so enjoyed our chat. Love her books, so it was a real honor for me. I got an autographed book from her and also autographed books from Stephanie Rowe and Christina Dodd - two other authors that I like that were in attendance.
This convention is a fund raiser, so they raffle off tickets for door prizes and gift baskets. I won the first door prize!!! It was a gift bag that had six new books, along with book marks, lip gloss and chocolates. They also give you a goodie bag when you walk in that had another 5 books in it. Very fun!
The last time I attended the luncheon, I won a door prize and a gift basket - made a killing!
The cool thing is this luncheon raised over $2,000 for Oregon Literacy.
Can't wait for next year!!
