Photobombed: the Kristan Higgins edition

So there we were on the last night of the Romance Writers of America convention in San Antonio, in the late-night scrum that always gathers after the awards ceremony--me, Gail (a fabulous friend and soon-to-be-released Kensington author that you'll be hearing more about in a few months) and the amazingly talented Virginia Kantra ... three roommates who had spent the week navigating workshops, signings, meetings, and more restaurants than I want to admit to (my scale lies, I tell you, LIES!). 

 It went like this:

 Virginia: Let's get a roomie photo! Hey, you! Random stranger! Will you take our picture?

 RS: Of course! Okay, scootch in there and say "sexy cowboys!"

 Jess, Virginia and Gail: Sexy cowboys! 

 RS: *snaps picture* *fiddles with phone* Okay, let me make sure it looks ... (burst out laughing)

 Because here's what we got:

Yes, folks, that's a Frownyface Photobomb from uber bestselling (and totally amazing) author Kristan Higgins because we hadn't invited her to be in the picture (and, well, because she saw the opportunity and took it, and she's like that!).

So we tried again: 


Much better! 

Many, many thanks to those of you who stopped by to visit at the booksigning (and let me tag along on some touristy stuff!), and also to those of you who raised your hands last week to get advance copies of HARVEST AT MUSTANG RIDGE. I'm sending out another batch of books today, now that I'm back home. As for the rest of you, it's available for preorder now, and will be in stock next Tuesday!!

    So cute! Thanks for sharing and sorry our sightseeing times didn't mesh this year. We would've gotten into so much trouble, I tell you. :)

      Ha! Well, we got to hang out and make trouble in the bar, which was almost as good. (Accidental butt picture in five, four, three ...) Give that big floofy cat a belly rub for me!

    I saw the first pic with Kristen photo bombing and laughed. When Micky and I heard about Kristan's ankle and gimp status for the conference, she said "No fountain dancing this time." Flash back to Kristan's Rita win in Orlando and her fountain celebration. Micky wondered what mischief Kristan might get up to, well question answered.

      Yes, she wasn't moving all that fast, but somehow she still managed to be in the right place at the right time, LOL!

      Awww, thanks! I'm grateful I finally got my luggage back, as it contained my only two dresses and the one pair of heels I can stand. (This admission gave Kristan a mild panic attack, btw. LOL.)
