Red Phoenix: Getting Ready for RT in Vegas

The process of getting ready for #RT16 in Vegas is quite daunting.

Because I have a Promo Table, I must bring enough swag to keep it stocked for 3 days. I have 6 big bags of goodies ready (Thanks to my fans from Denver!), plus the beautiful display. 

MrRed and I have been going over our seminar that we are presenting on Sunday. Full of laughter and (lucky me!) hands-on practice.

I also have all the books, book stands, displays and extra material for the signing on Saturday AND Sunday. Yikes!

Then there's the "What am I wearing for a week of panels and parties?" Pack, pack, pack...  

I'm so very grateful I will be driving this year! Not only do we get to bring BDSM tools we normally would never take on a plane, but I don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to ship all this stuff.

RT is intimidating. With so many authors and so many readers, it's a madhouse, and I am normally a solitary person. Having it in Vegas is going to be that much crazier! 

Still, I can't wait. I get to see old friends, meet new fans, and party like it's 1999.
(Oh wait, that already happened)

Even though it is going to be nuts and totally exhausting, I'm excited! ~Red Phoenix

Author Red Phoenix Visits Arkansas and Texas

Getting tied up for the photo shoot!

Oh my goodness, I had so much fun at the Indie Mashup in Rogers, Arkansas and then I went on to Houston, Texas to play with my avid Lone Star fans.

Here are a few of my fave pics!

* Next conference will be at IRC in Lebanon, TN this September and then to Seattle for the Kallypsocon in October.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE meeting my fans!

Red Phoenix at the Indie Romance Convention!

Authors Kallypso Masters (middle), Annabel Joseph and me :)

I had the pleasure of meeting more fans at IRC in TN!

Indie Romance Convention marked several new experiences for me as a writer! It was my first time as a featured author, my first time speaking on a panel, my first time winning and accepting awards for my work, and my first time being part of a convention book signing.

Here are a few photos of the event. Thank you to all the fans who attended. You made it so very special for me. Big hugs!!!

Gift basket

There was a BDSM demonstration the first night of the conference given by a D/s couple. It included the violet wand, light flogging, and common household instruments that could be used as sensual tools. It was informative and fun.


The three of us sponsored the event and provided gift baskets.

Looking at my man

This is a favorite pic of mine. I am up at the podium looking at my hubby at the back of the room. I am so in love with that man.

He was incredibly helpful the entire conference. I wouldn't have had such a successful weekend without his loving support.

Winning fan-based awards!

Thanking fans for all their encouragement, generosity and many kindnesses. I owe my success to you!

My very first panel

My panel cherry was popped at IRC.

What an honor to share what I have learned with fellow authors.

Ready and waiting for fans

At the book signing! I was so blessed to have many fans come to get their books signed. I thank you for your enthusiasm.

FYI, I also thank you for your patience. I am still new at this. Some day I will be able to talk and sign a book at the same time - I hope.  ;)

The room just before the party...

Had a private party in the hotel room with my awesome fans. It was complete with a chocolate fountain. Yum! Both my hubby and I loved the discussions and life-giving laughter.









Everyone put on a Red Phoenix tat and showed it off for the camera. I love that they don't mind being silly with me! <3

Showing off our tats!

I love my peeps, best fans in the world!

The History of Red Phoenix: A Little Movie Created Especially For Fans!

For the private event I held at the AAD conference, I decided to start with a movie clip about my life. I wanted to share more of my personal side with my fans - a peek into the woman behind the mask...

I hope you enjoy it! 

For some added fun, here are a few pics from the breakfast. It was a wonderful day!

A romantic table setting for my fans!

Here are the books waiting to be signed
