Lucy Monroe's Online Reader Retreat October 8 - 12, 2012 is over - but watch this space for info on next year's event! With over 40 authors and industry professionals participating and more than 630 registered readers in attendance, ORR was a huge success.  We gave away nearly 100 prizes, chatted during the day, partied in the evening and had a great time connecting all week long!  Hope to see *you* there next year! The Winner of Our Cover Model Contest John Quinlan With the price of gas and airfare, not to mention rising conference and convention costs, not everyone can make it to the venues where readers and authors conventionally come together. But readers still want access to their favorite authors in a special setting and many of us want a chance to show our appreciation for reader loyalty and support.
