There are few things in my life that I’ve been more excited about than April 5, 2010…when I’ll be reading from my debut adult romance, Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake at the FABULOUS Lady Jane’s Salon with Miranda Neville (The Wild Marquis), Kate Noble (The Summer of You) and N. K. Jemisin (The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms). 

I discovered Lady Jane’s a few months ago–and along with it–my people. I have never been more excited about Monday nights ever!  

When Leanna asked me to pre-blog the event on the Lady Jane’s website…I decided that the most helpful post I could create would be the one I wished I’d had the night of my first Salon…when I was totally uncertain of what this crazy thing was going to be…and totally afraid that I’d feel utterly out of place!  

 

So…I give you…

1. The cover price of one gently-romance novel is the best cover in the city.

2. If you have an aversion to velour, this may not be the place for you.

3. If you don’t have an aversion to velour, you are about to find your heaven.

4. Make friends with Alex (the bartender).  He’s all alone back there and he makes a good drink.

5. Dress for a warm climate.  All those sexy passages make for a hot room. 

6. You will definitely run into an author about whom you are fangirly. Try to hold it together.

7. Leanna, Hope, Maya & Ron are about the four nicest people you’ll ever meet.  It’s impossible to stay nervous in the face of their gleaming smiles.

8. If your husband has never understood your adoration for romance novels, one night at Lady Jane’s will explain everything.

and, finally, 

9. If you’re looking for someone to talk to, come introduce yourself to me.  ;)
