Romance Slam Jam 2008
Posted by: La-TessaI had a blast at my first ever Romance Slam Jam this year. In case you don’t know what the Romance Slam Jam is, it’s the premier gathering spot for readers, authors, and all around lovers of African American Romance. This year, the conference was held in Chicago, IL. Not only did I meet some of my favorite romance authors, but I met my review team from Romance In Color for the very first time.
Here we are, looking all cute and dolled up for the Emma Awards. From left to right you have me, Keren, Wayne (our fearless Editor In Chief), Marguerite, & Dee.
