Pix from RT Booklovers Convention 2013

Self, Christina Courtenay and Lyn Vernham en route to the paranormal party. No, we’re not Bananarama.

It took me about a week to recover from my trip to Kansas City, Missouri for the RT Booklovers Convention. I put this down to working whilst I was away rather than holidaying, so that missing sleep while travelling kind of did me in. Then I went to a party, then I got a bug (it was a bug, not a hangover) and now I’m just about catching up. So, late but I hope still fun, are some of my pix.

Kansas City is known as the city of fountains. This was my favourite. Frog spitting on boy or boy peeing on frog?

A bear outside a chocolate factory. I like the Missouri taste for chocolate …

Getting ready for our Heroine’s Abroad workshop, which was good fun and well supported. Evonne Wareham (back to cam) in Welsh national dress, Lynne Connolly, helpful lady called Carolyn, Christina Courtenay.
