Last month I posted a guest blog on Pens Fatales where I dissed women literary writers for their somber choice in shoes compared to genre scribes.  Apparently a few of the Lighthouse writers read the blog and decided to prove me wrong. Sleek pumps and stiletto heels arrived in mass, two-by-two. Here is the most fantastic pair of shoes (courtesy of agent Erin Hosier) straddling my spectator wing tip.  

Board President Jay Kenney (in his Gatsby linen suit) opened up his beautiful home near the Denver Botanic Gardens. 

 Julie Schilder, of InkWell Management, couldn't help but vogue beside the home's art collection.

Who can resist a man in a tux?  Not me (in the chef's hat). Especially if that man is the dashing Dr. David Rothman. He later hand fed me cake, wedding fashion. (Though we did not consummate marital vows, at least that I remember--too many Pepper Dogs.)

If you're not familiar with Toni McGee Causey, shame on you. Buy her books and exercise your funny bone until it dislocates.

And that's not all.  In one of life's serendipitous moments, I ran into Susan May Warren from Minnesota at the Mercury Cafe. She mentioned that she was an author. I said, so was I, and from then, the conversation ran at full steam. Turns out Susan is as prolific a writer as she is a super nice person.
