RT Wrap Up

By -
Hey-- I decided to cross post these pics from the Biting Edge to give all our friends who didn't go to RT a taste of what they missed. Now, I have to remind you, I'm the nice one so for the most part these will not be incriminating or embarrassing. Those pictures, I'm sure, will show up somewhere else soon.


Part of the gang off to breakfast at...


the world's biggest McDonalds...no shit


Waiting in line (along with the eight busloads of kids dumped off for breakfast before proceeding to one of the thousand theme parks in the area) Richelle Mead, Diana Rowland, Jackie Kessler (back to camera)


After the gluttony, Blake, whose last name I can't remember, profuse apologies, Diana Rowland, Jackie Kessler and Richelle Mead


Lucienne Diver and he who shall be nameless.



Leaguers in Club Rt: Michelle Rowen, Michele Bardsley, Jaye Wells



The super delicious Dakota Cassidy (who ALWAYS looks like this- I'm so jealous)


Fearless leader of the League of Reluctant Adults: Mark Henry standing in front of the stash we offered as a raffle prize in Club RT. He looks so normal, doesn't he?


Reviewer extraordinaire Jill Smith, Richelle Mead, Stacia Kane, Caitlin Kittredge


Jill Smith giving Jackie Kessler the good news—she loved her new book Black and White co-authored with Caitlin Kittredge.


Leaguer Michele Bardsley on stage accepting her Reviewer’s Choice Award for Best Vampire Romance, Because Your Vampire Said So


And last, me accepting my award for Best Urban Fantasy Protagonist, Anna Strong from Legacy. What a rush!!!

So that's it...hope you enjoyed seeing your leaguers in action...so to speak.

That's it! Next year, the entire League must attend. And with so many of us, we'll be a scary, scary force....

Congrats on the awards, Jeanne and Michele!

For some reason, I'm very intimidated by the concept of a 'world's largest McDonalds'. I think it may even go against the laws of nature somehow...

Jeanne Stein said…
Thanks, Nicole and JD, a MCDonald's that big is a FREAK of nature--especially since over the menu board they were playing a video of a chef concocting gourmet desserts that are soon to be offered at McD's along with pasta dishes-- I mean, really...

I love her...

Wait...

McDonalds.....pasta dishes...is that like Pizza Hut now sells Pasta-in-a-Box?

And gourmet desserts?

I haven't stepped foot in McD's for eons -- since about the time dinos roamed the earth. Are these featured menu items tall tales?

Ginas Said" Are these featured menu items tall tales?

Unfortunately, Gina, no. You could watch them being prepared on that screen. Don't know when they're going to unveil this new "gourmet" menu, though. Can't believe it's going to succeed but who knows? In this economy maybe dinner for $5 will become the new night out.

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

By -

WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin

Excerpt time!

Since I missed my regular posting day--argh!--I'm popping in to steal Kari's day. Well, okay, Kari has a power outage so I'm taking her day, but believe me, I would totally steal it otherwise. And, because I'm just in that kind of mood, I'm going to post an excerpt from the fourth Downside book, SACRIFICIAL MAGIC, which will be released on March 27, 2012. (And wait till you guys see the cover!) The blurb: READING, WRITING, AND RAISING THE DEAD When Chess Putnam is ordered by an infamous crime boss—who also happens to be her drug dealer—to use her powers as a witch to solve a grisly murder involving dark magic, she knows she must rise to the challenge. Adding to the intensity: Chess’s boyfriend, Terrible, doesn’t trust her, and Lex, the son of a rival crime lord, is trying to reignite the sparks between him and Chess. Plus there’s the little matter of Chess’s real job as a ghost hunter for the Church of Real Truth, investigating reports of a haunting

Heeeyyy, everyone! For those who have no clue who I am, I'll keep this short. My name's Dakota Cassidy, and I write fluffy (like lightly whipped fluffy), humorous paranormals for Berkley Sensation. Mark Henry invited me to join the League after I threatened heinous acts of violence against his person, involving my stilettos and an old can of Aqua Net. After much resistance, and the utter ruination of a sassy pair of red pumps, here I am :) In celebration of my forced entry... er, induction to the League--I got booty for ya :) Here's what I'm in for, and this is what ya gotta do--post in the comments section. Just say hello--that's it :) That enters you in the contest for... A signed copy of the second book in my Accidental series,   Accidentally Dead , but that's not it. I'll buy TWO books--winner's choice--written by any of the authors here on the League. That means you could win books by Caitlin Kittredge, Jaye Wells, that meanie-butt Mark Henry, Miche
