  • GCLS Author Guest Blog: MERCEDES LEWIS

    So, how do I begin to write about Mercedes Lewis, the incredible Ms. M?  She was a mystery to me for some time.  I saw her at some conferences but never got to meet her.  It was through association with other Conference attendees that she and I got to meet each other.  My mother’s first…

  • GCLS Author Guest Blog: RACHEL GOLD

    I met Rachel Gold at the conference in Minneapolis in 2012.  Again, not a lot of time to sit and chat with her – conferences are so busy – but she made a definite impact. Here was this new author hanging around the Bella Books table, looking a little bit like a kid in a…

  • GCLS Author Guest Blog: ISABELLA

    From what I know of Isabella, she is one hellaciously busy woman!  Isabella is another author I follow on Facebook. (I’m not a stalker, really!)  She always has something going on! Sometimes, I get tired just thinking about it. I was at the conference Isabella writes about here.  I remember her very well.  I didn’t…

  • GCLS Author Guest Blog: LYNETTE MAE

    Here is a blog from another author that I have yet to meet.  We’ve been at the same conferences, but our paths just haven’t crossed.  I do believe I’ll need to remedy that this year.  Lynette and I are friends on Facebook, however.  True, we don’t interact a lot…but I pay attention to what she…

  • GCLS Author Guest Blog: TRACEY RICHARDSON

    By now you’re all aware that I try to write something about the author – or my connection to the author – in each guest blog.  (Much like I’m doing now.)  I’ve noticed a theme:  GCLS is full of really spectacular, ridiculously nice people! Tracey Richardson is no different.  I met Tracey twice in 2010.…

  • GCLS Author Guest Blog: ALI VALI

    I met Ali Vali at Women’s Week in Provincetown.  She won’t remember it, though…it was fleeting and I don’t think we formally exchanged names.  Plus, it was years ago.  In any case, I had the opportunity to be part of a group conversation with her.  I found her to be really delightful and friendly.  …

  • GCLS Author Guest Blog: DILLON WATSON

    Dillon Watson and I slept together the very first night we met. Okay, now that I have your attention… Actually, Dillon and I decided to be roommates for the Bella Y-Tour in February 2010.  We met up at our chosen hotel late that first night – me just from the airport and Dillon just from…

  • GCLS Author Guest Blog: MJ WILLIAMZ

    I’ve been online friends with MJ Williamz for a number of years.  We finally met in Provincetown during the 2009 Women’s Week.  While we didn’t get to hang out together a lot – she was awfully busy – I do remember it fondly.  As I do the chili that we all shared.  Who made that?…

  • GCLS Author Guest Blog: ANN MCMAN

    Ann McMan is another author participating in the Guest Blog Project (GBP) who I have not officially met.  I was in her presence, however.  Yes, I was in the same room.  I shared space with her.  Not personal space, mind you.  I wouldn’t want Salem beating my ass – especially since she’s participating on my…

  • GCLS Author Guest Blog: RACHEL SPANGLER

    How do I begin to write about Rachel Spangler?  I honestly can’t remember when I first met Rachel.  Was it at the GCLS conference in 2009?  Was it when she set up an author reading for herself, Nell Stark, CP Rowlands, Anne Laughlin, and Jennifer Harris in Chicago because I whined that “no one ever…
