From Sherrie:
Well, it wasn't actually in Seattle ... it was in Bellevue, just outside Seattle. Close enough.
Jo is a speaker and workshop presenter this weekend at the "Writers Weekend" conference. I'll let her give the details when she gets back, but since this is in my neck of the woods, I have several local friends who attended. Every one of them came back with raves about Jo. I wish I could have gone. Alas, the editorial side of my life is keeping me chained to the computer.
I asked my friends to report back to me on the conference, and a number of them did. Interspersed in their comments were praises for Jo. The best one: "JB gave the closing speech tonight and of course she was wonderful. You just can't help but love her." I have to agree.
Here's an exclusivie picture of Jo at the conference wowing her audience with her knowledge and charm.
