Stepping out from behind the blogging computer
Our group
What does it take to dig a book blogger out from behind their computer? About as much effort as it does to dig out an author!
In a bid to step out of my book reviewing bubble, I’ve been pushing myself to go out and meet new bloggers and authors, and I’ve been inviting along several others, too.
Our latest road trip was to Leicester to meet with the ladies from the Romantic Novelists’ Association (RNA). Joining them at their monthly meeting in the Belmont Hotel, we were made to feel very welcome by Lizzie Lamb and our hosts. From my book review team came: Terry Tyler, Cathy Ryan and Shelley Wilson, and Terry’s sister Julia (Proofreader Julia) asked if she could come too.

It was just like we knew each other, it’s really lovely. It felt like that the first time I met Rosie, Terry, Alison and Barb too. Hurrah for social media 😀

Hi Cathy, for some reason I didn’t see or comment on the original blog. I think that somehow I got it a bit mixed up with Terry’s blog post about the Belmont Belles. How rude of me ! It was so lovely to meet you all face to face and you were exactly how I imagined you – so warm and friendly. I hope your group will return to visit us another time – either collectively or singly. A warm welcome is promised. Getting towards the end of my next novel and I hope I;ll have a paperback copy to send to you before Easter.

Hi Lizzie, no problem at all. There was a few posts flying about 🙂 It was really lovely to meet you all too, especially you, June and Adrienne because we’ve had so much virtual correspondence. I’m sure we’ll have a return visit. All good wishes for the new book…can’t wait! xx
