Hi, Gang!

Apologies for the long break between blogs — oh crap, I owe you a monthly winner for April, don’t I? Frig. Anyway, I’ve been working my cute little tushie off this past month, revising my latest novel EVERY-OTHER SATURDAY. It will make its way to beta readers next week, get revised some more, and you’ll be able to buy it, in digital format ONLY, around the beginning of August.  More on that coming soon…

In the meantime, I am spending the week at the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention in Dallas, and already having a blast. It’s my first time at this convention, and for my Atlanta friends wondering what it’s like, I will just say it’s like DragonCon for romance novels. Fewer Stormtroopers, more shirtless men. So, better. 🙂

Oh, Texas. You put the Tex in my Mex, Cowboy in my Caviar, @RobertEarlKeen1 in my iPod, and rocks in my margarita. Good to be back. #RT2015

This is my first time back in Texas in ten years, which in itself is pretty unbelievable. And while a piece of my heart will always live in Austin, it’s just nice to be back in the Lone Star State at all. And it’s hard to deny the appeal of Dallas on a beautiful blue-sky morning.

 

And there’s this… #nofilter #RT2015

If you’re attending RT2015:

I’m doing some of the writing workshops while I’m here (including Cherry Adair’s Master Plotting Class that started today – so good!), and soaking in the general awesomeness. While I won’t be signing at the huge book fair on Saturday, because I am lame and missed the deadline and have no books technically out at the moment, I am hosting a table at the Shooting Stars Gala Friday morning (10:00 a.m. — Reunion Room B), so if you’re here, come see me there!

Nine readers will get ARCs of the new version of THE MARRIAGE PACT plus… wedding cake cupcakes and something bubbly to drink. So come join me! If you need more info, or if you happen to be in Dallas with an old copy of any of THE MARRIAGE PACT series that you’d like signed, just Tweet me @MJPullen and we’ll connect.

If you don’t already follow me on Instagram and want up to the minute — up to the half-day information on what I’m doing and seeing, please follow me there @MJPullenAuthor.

Until then…. Goodnight, Dallas!
