AgentFest and the after-party
Posted by maria
Hi Writers,
It's day 3 here at ThrillerFest and I'm getting ready to head back down to the the conference to take in sessions from Brad Thor, Gayle Lynds, Joseph Finder and more. You literally cannot walk down the aisles of this conference without running into a celebrity author.
I wanted to post some of my pics from yesterday's AgentFest speed dating with agents as well as the party after. I got goosebumps when I saw this author--guess who?
More to come tomorrow—thriller writers never rest, you know. Yes, I lead a very glamorous life as Scott B. commented on my last blog (I'm lying).
Keep Writing,
Maria

Now you're just being modest, and that's not a bad trait to possess.

Well glamorous life (even on occasion) or not, I would guess you love you job and enjoy special times like these.
Thanks again for sharing.

Great pics, Maria. I'm sure the speed dating for an agent was thrilling enough for writers.

Greetings Maria!
Great article in the August edition-you seem very kind.
I would enjoy sharing a non published very short story I recently wrote.
It received exceptional reviews by the review board on an online writing site.
Thanking you in advance, and nice to "write you"...
Jane D Fiore
ps: really like your writing style!
