Winners Winners Everywhere!

There were lots of winners at the RWA conference last week.  There were the Golden Heart and RITA finalists and the lucky ladies who took home the awards in their respective categories.  Also winning were those ladies who were still able to fit into their fabulous gowns after a week of decadently delicious desserts (thankfully, I was among this group) and those rocking gorgeous shoes and somehow managing to escape swollen ankles. (I was not among that group.)  I'm awarding a special prize to those among us who were able to brave the heat and humidity of Orlando and still look fresh and fabulous.  I want to know your secret!


These days I'm mostly rocking (as in rocking chair) flats with orthotics so I was especially enamoured of the sexy, sassy shoes I spied around the conference.  I thought it would be fun to share some of those sights.  Can you guess which ladies rocked these shoes?

Following is a list of the ladies who wore these fabulous shoes. (One lady is shown twice!)  Match the shoes to the writer and you could be one of five randomly selected commenters to win one of the signed books we scored at RWA!  You have through Friday to make your guesses.  I'll announce the winners this weekend.

  6. Penfield, you got three right! You can keep guessing if you want. I'll be choosing the winners from all comments through Friday. You don't have to guess them all correctly, though there might be a bonus prize if someone does. ;-)

    1. Sarah
    2. Jennifer, no guess, Anna
    3. Tiffany
    4. Wendy
    5. Anna
