About Me

My name is Leanne and I serve as the head of the committe that runs Celebrate Romance. Celebrate Romance is a unique conference designed for the romance reader. We get together once a year and talk about the romance genre; where it's going, what we like and don't like, and meet the authors. Each year we invite writers to join us. For the past few years, our attendance has been about half readers and half writers.It's a great opportunity to meet your favorite authors and talk with them in an informal setting. On Sunday, we have a booksigning for all the authors and a bookseller who comes with the books you want to buy.Cybil acts as our author liasion and webmistress. She's not shy and will tell you exactly why you should buy a book from the authors.Karen puts out our newsletters and answers many of the questions that come our way.Josie is our registration guru. Without Josie, we wouldn't be nearly as organized as we are.Arlinda served as our Mistress of Ceremonies last year and will help us out again.We are all voracious readers with our own likes and dislikes. Come look at the pictures in the photo album and think of all the fun you could have if you joined us Feb. 29 - Marc. 2, 2008 in Columbia, SC.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The members of ABBA. Hey, as long as we are dreaming, I might as well dream big, right? More authors, especially some of the reclusive ones or older ones who no longer write.

Time seemingly wasted

People are interesting

Lately, I've found myself more and more intrigued by peoples perceptions of events and information. Like the people at church who plan a surgery, don't tell anyone, and then are offended when no one b...

Booksignings

One of my favorite things to do is attend booksignings across the country, whenever I can. It was much easier when I lived in Chicago because I could get great weekend fares to a lot of places.&...
