Aideen,
Bless you, I could be a Modern Heat heroine alright (if I was twenty pounds lighter and several years younger!).

Barbara,
so glad you came to the literary signing – and you liked the book too. Added bonus that.

Sandra,
I’m going to be all gushing now and say having that lunch with you and Sharon was the high point of the whole conference for me. You’re my idol. And so gracious about being stalked..

Joanne
Yeah, the hunky waiter seems to have inspired everyone…

Heidi, what a wonderful post! And didn’t we have a great time in San Francisco? I’m already looking forward to seeing you and Abby and Sharon and EVERYBODY next year, in Washington, DC.

Love,
Sandra

Heidi,

Thanks for the great post. And I love the picture of the waiter. Works well for my WIP.

I met Kelly Hunter and you at the Literacy Signing at RWA in San Fran. Thanks for signing the book (The Millionaire’s Blackmail Bargain), which I loved, BTW.

Wish you the best of luck with your 5th book.

Sounds amazing, I imagine it’s quite similar to an ‘out of body’ experince.

If I didn’t already have my own story created, Butlers in the Buff would certainly be inspiring me.

Well done on a fabulous year and here’s to many more in the future, P.G.
Your post kinda reads like the story of a Modern Heat heroine, does it not??

Aideen.

Ooh, that waiter is very inspiring!! Heidi, thanks for sharing your journey. I hope to join the club someday!!!

For those of you entering the contest, good luck! Even if you don’t win, you’ve accomplished something wonderful just by entering. You are a real writer! And if you do win, be prepared. You may be a whole lot smarter than I am and not have to revise much at all — or you may find yourself working harder than you ever thought possible. Either way, you’ll learn so much. This is a fabulous opportunity!

Maybe all the talk of rumpled waiters and butlers in the buff crashed the system?

I think ‘Butlers in the Buff’ is the name of the company we hired the waiters from, but we decided for decency sake to hire them with clothes!

Hi Heidi — Your comments went to moderation for some reason, so I just approved them both — that’s why they disappeared at first, then both showed up…

I know this has happened to a few other people as well — I don’t know what causes it, it seems pretty random. I usually check the blog every day for comments in moderation, but if anyone else has comments disappearing when they try to post, feel free to email me at Amy_Wilkins [at] Harlequin.ca to give me a nudge

Er, first off, sorry to post the same reply twice but it didn’t come up when I posted it the first time.

And have to admit the Hunky Waiter photo was pinched from Michelle Styles – so she’ll have to explain his rumpled look…!

Nic, can make no promises about hunky waiters, but would like to add that if they’re are any I’m having first dibs.

And Anna, so glad you liked The Mile High Club and what’s this rumour about Butlers in the Buff! count me in for RWAus next year is all I can say about that.

Kim, January’s closer than you think. Just wait till you get your first box of books, we’ll be expecting to hear the scream over here in Blighty
