  1. There were so many brilliant people there! It was such a privilege to meet so many of my inspirations, even if it was through my cat. The awards ceremony was lovely and I am so glad that I had the privilege to attend.

  5. Yes, we are aware of the fundraising efforts and we did post that info on Women and Words HERE. Readers, hit the link to help out.

    Also, some items were auctioned off at GCLS and funds from those are going to Baxter.

  6. Just one addition to your blog, Andi, and I know it was an accidental oversight on your part, but the author name is missing from IN THIS SMALL SPOT under:
    DRAMATIC/GENERAL FICTION
    In This Small Spot, **Caren J. Werlinger,** Corgyn Publishing
    Letters Never Sent, Sandra Moran, Bedazzled Ink
    Picking Up the Pieces, Brenda Adcock, Regal Crest

    So I added “Caren J. Werlinger” where it belongs in the above paste [I failed HTML training, or I would have been able to give it all the proper typeface, etc., since I accidentally sent myself to source code just trying to underline. Oh, well!]

    Thanks so much for all you did for us at the Con, Andi. It was wonderful to meet you in person, and I have several of your books and shorts on my list of ‘Post a review of this!’ and I hope to get to that list now that the excitement is slowly ebbing. This was such an awesome Con.

  8. […] Not much news to report, but we couldn’t let this week go by without extending our congratulations to Goldie winners Liz Bugg and Benny Lawrence. Liz’s Yellow Vengeance won in the Mystery/Thriller category, and Benny’s Shell Game won in the Science Fiction/Fantasy category. Well done, both of you! For the full list of Goldie winners, visit Women and Words. […]

  11. […] I kept thinking that I was going to do a giant “here’s what happened at GCLS,” but ultimately, I decided not to. The conference schedule is still available so you can see what panels were offered and who was on them (click HERE). The vendor layout is also available, so you can see where everybody was in the Grand Ballroom, which was the vendor room. I even took photos. You can see those HERE. And you can check out the list of Goldie finalists HERE and then the list of winners HERE. […]

  12. Hi Andi!
    Thanks for posting these–I can’t wait to be at the conference next year to meet you and everyone else. Looks like a great time. Would you mind correcting my book title to Laughing Down the Moon? I’m dying to share your list with people but don’t want them looking up the wrong book. Thanks, Eva

    • Thanks Andi! I did get a good laugh out of it…and it happened to be a title of an Asian TV series that actually looks pretty intriguing, so you may have pointed me in the direction of my winter viewing habit! 🙂 thanks again, Eva
