NJRW Conference and NYC Trip - October 2005

Carolyn Greene and I attended the New Jersey Romance Writers Conference in October 2005.  While Carolyn presented a workshop, I attended workshops, networked and met with industry professionals. 

After the conference was over, we extended our stay and traveled into New York City.  We met with Carolyn's agent, shopped, dined, did some sightseeing and attended a Broadway play - "Mama Mia."

My love affair with Manhattan was instantaneous.  To live there would be a dream come true.  It was everything I had hoped for and more.  Everyone was warm and hospitable. 

Here are a few pictures from our trip.  Click on the image to see a larger picture.

The city at rush hour in front of Madison Square Garden.	Skyscrapers and tall buildings. A city that truly never sleeps.
