When you get a lot of authors together it is hard to remember all of them that you met, but I am going to mention some of them and why they are so memorable to me.
Of our bloggers, there were 8 bloggers there. Janet Jensen, myself, Lee Ann Setzer, Shirley Bahlmann, Christine Thackeray, Rebecca Talley, Marcia Mickelson, and Terri Ferran. Not bad for one blogging group.
Other authors that I saw that I will mention are Jewell Adams, Kerry Blair, Laralee Evans, James Dashner, Crystal Liechty, Tamra Norton, Rachel Ann Nunes, Alison Palmer, Tristi Pinkston, Candise Salima, Jeff Savage, Deborah Talmage, Jame Theler, Marsha Ward, Robison Wells and Julie Wright.
The blogger that looks most like her photo. Marcia Mickelson. The blogger that looks least like her photo, Alison Palmer. She was one of the nicest and hardest working people at the conference. Janet Jensen and I got the most work done together of any author. She is one hard working author.
Most likely to be a radio host if his writing career ends, Robison Wells. This guy has an amazing radio voice, and did an amazing job this weekend.
My favorite person that I would like to sit down and have lunch with and talk about writings goes to MARSHA WARD... I really loved talking with her a few times!
And for Kerry Blair. She has a great book out, and knows EVERYONE. I had been promising to tell her the story of all stories and we didn't have time. See her blog if you really want to know what I look like...
It was amazing, the conference that is, not my photo.

Wow! Thanks, Doug! You've just made my day. Next time I come to Utah, we'll have to make room in our schedules to do that.
You SO owe me that story!
And you're so right about there not being time to wave, let alone talk. That was my least favorite thing about the evening. *Sigh* Still, it was GREAT to meet you at last!
Marsha, I loved talking to you. You are a very interesting person. I would love to sit with you and talk about writing. Those of you that don't know Marsha would be amazed what she has done to help other writers in their writings.
Kerry, the only problem with telling you the story, is that if you sent it to Ripley's they would send it back saying they don't believe it.
It was great to meet you, too, Doug. And I'm so glad you mentioned me in the blog 'cause I would have been sad otherwise . . .
I forgot to tell everyone that I have a photo of your tail...and it is PINK. Everyone, Tristi is the life of the party, I promise.
I agree--Marsha is wonderful. She is so supportive and works so hard to help other writers.
It was very fun to meet everyone.
And, yep, Tristi is the best Easter Bunny I've ever seen!
It was so fun seeing so many authors at the conference and then at the Whitneys. Writers Rock!:)
