ROMANCE WRITERS OF AMERICA CONFERENCE - Dallas, July 2004

There is nothing like attending the national conference of the RWA (Romantic Writers of America) for feeling the pulse of the industry in North America.

Above and beyond that, the chance to meet up again with dear friends who live as far away as Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Canada and the States is irresistible.

It is also an opportunity to make new friends, and of course, the chance to network is second to none.

Here are some photographs to give you a flavour of the event!
