Back from RWA 08!

Fun was had by all that attended RWA in San Francisco this year.

For me the conference took on a different feel than prior years. It was my very first Literacy signing which I have to say was a blast! I signed eleven books and had my photo taken by the RWA official photographer. My goal for the night was to sign one! You can imagine my delight to sign ten additional books.

Unfortunately, copy edits for my next Kensington book arrived a few days before I left for conference, so I spent many hours each day up in my room rereading my February 09 book BEING WICKED. I did manage to get out of my room to attend a few classes and to go to my publisher's events in the evenings. I also had a wonderful talk with my agent Roberta Brown. She is such an amazing woman so full of life and energy. I spent over an hour talking with her about my career and what she feels will be my best bet for my next proposal.

I met some of my old friends and made some new ones too... below are mixture of photos of me and the events I attended.

Crystal Jordan and me. Crystal is a fellow Kensington author and one of my critique partners.

Myself, Donna Grant, and Shelli Stevens at the PASIC party.

Lillian Feisty and Eden Bradley two of my fellow erotic authors and close friends.

Shelli was my date for the Harlequin party, where the dancing was so much fun!

Cheers to all of you!

Hugs and Kisses,
Lacy.

A Doozy Of A Month.

This past month has been filled with both fantastic things and tons of stress.
I have been dealing with some personal Issues that have occupied a majority of my time...

Finding a Nanny, having it not work, searching for another new Nanny, etc. Along with the day job, writing deadlines and relationship issues... The stress was very high.

Somehow I did manage to get out and have a bit of fun.

Earlier in the month my good friend Lillian Feisty took a trip to Seattle and we went with a few other authors to the local Erotic Arts Festival. Though the night was a bit on the pricy side we had a blast!

Here are a few photos of us... one from Burlesque Dancing night, and the other from dinner just before the festival.

My favorite part of this night was the people watching. ALL kinds of people with all the different sexual orientations were at this event. We saw men in rubber suits, Cross Dressers, Masters with their slaves, Gays and lesbians, Bi men and women. There was erotic art by a few local artist as well as burlesque dancing up on stage.

Though my favorite image of the night and the one that I go back to again and again in my mind was this older couple... both with grey hair and dressed very classy... they walked around the show looking at the erotic images... her hand wrapped about his sleeve.. his fingers on top of her hand. It was sweet and lovely and soooo much what I am looking for when I reach that age. To be with a man that is open about sexuality... but still I am his girl, lover and friend.

The other bit of fun I did this month is a reading at the local Babeland store. Hope I saw some of you readers there... The night was wonderful Susan Lyons and I read last out of the 7 women who read that night. The first round of women who read were Hedgebrook alumni and all of them read poetry of some form. The store was pretty packed and we had lots of lovely toys surrounding us as we all read from our explicit works. I was pretty nervous... I pretty much simply stood there and read from the pages, and I think I turned all red... well I certainly was sweating when I was done. It is very hard to sit and read out loud images from your mind.

All and all though we did have a good time.

Hope you are all well... I am writing like mad at the moment so please be patient with my updates to this blog.

Hugs and Kisses,
Lacy.

I am back!

So I survived my trip to the lovely open city of San Francisco.

Top things that happened in San Fran…(not in any order)
1.) Got my lovely tattoo! See look… it is much prettier than the image I set the artist… I love the details in the leaves

and I am

totally excited about the placement of it on my side. It is very sexy looking sitting there all pretty on the curve of my hip. (Tattoo took 2 hrs. and hurt! But I would do it again) Now I am simply driving everyone nuts by looking at it constantly and showing it off at the very first chance I get!

2.) I read my stories out loud in front of my peers and a room full of people I didn’t know! Below is an image of Myself, Pam Rosenthal, Eden Bradley, and Lillian Feisty at the reading.

We all had drinks before hand. There are many, many benefits to doing this. One is bonding with the other fellow readers so you can help each other out if need be. Wink. And cheer each other on.

3.) Bonded with my friends that I have not seen in some time. Two of my closest friends are Lillian Feisty and Eden Bradley.

We spent the days shopping and the nights talking, drinking, giggling and having some wild fun!
I also got to see an old friend of mine from my collage years. Melanie. I had missed her and wished I had more time while there to see her, but didn’t.

4.) Went to a fetish ball… this was an interesting night. It was an open to the public event so there were all walks of life there. Ranging from the wickedly kinky… to the straight vanilla… to the totally freak you out make your skin crawl scary. We prettied each other up for the event. Here is a photo of Feisty and I ready to head out and party.

One aspect that I did really enjoy about this event is they had a section blocked out in the dungeon room to allow inexperienced people to try things with the guidance of the staff… people could come in be tied up and have their partner be instructed on how to flog or spank or etc. Because there were so many people there it opened up kink to those who were curious and had the nerve to step up and ask.

All and All, spending a weekend doing nothing but girl stuff was very therapeutic. Even though I got little sleep while there and didn’t write a word, I came home with a fresh mind and a rejuvenated soul.

Hope your weekend was just as filled with wild and wicked fun!

Hugs, Kisses and Licks,
Lacy.
