I didn’t go to the Romantic Times Convention in Pittsburgh but I have been following the coverage throughout various websites the past week. It seems a lot of very interesting things happened over the course of the week; a few of them involving the police, if you can believe that. I just thought I would compile a grouping of links for those of you who are interested.
First off the official blog of the RT convention can be found here. They actually have three videos hosted by the authors Marianne Mancusi and Liz Maverick. The videos are a hoot you have to watch them! I myself was mystified by the costumes for the Fairy Ball.
Next up Smart Bitch Sarah attended the conference and has a series of posts about her experience. She has the dirt on an argument that broke out between to well known authors plus lots of pictures. (The juicy gossip is in the last link).
Romantic Times Day!

This is a really neat reporting of the convention by a Pittsburgh magazine. Melody Platz an aspiring author writes about her experience of the RT convention over the week. Her account is gossip free, but gives a good indication of what to expect if you are thinking of attending.

I wish I could have gone to RT!! But come July I will be at RWA. So maybe I can report it. :)
Thanks for the link to the LUX blog. I'm glad you found my reporting useful. I really did have a fabulous time at RT
Katie, Oh you definitely have to report on RWA. You are going to have so much fun and I am going to live vicariously through you!
Melody, Hi and welcome to my blog! I read your account on RT and found it to be very informative. I plan to attend next year and it helps to know what to expect.
