What an exciting year 2005 it's been! I've received tremendous support at the fabulous booksigings. What better way to recap the year than with my favorite photos from highlighted events.
 In May, my first trade paperback, The Frog Prince, was well received by readers, reviewers, and booksellers. To kick off the release, my first launch Party took place in the very city the book was set in, San Francisco! It was a huge success. And, I was greeted by a surprise guest, Gavin Newsom, the mayor of San Francisco (shown above, right)!
The RWA National Convention was in Reno this year. I had an amazing time with many of my fellow authors. Every year it inspires me more and more. Next year's convention is in Atlanta. I can't wait!
I'd like to take a moment to thank allthe wonderful booksellers, librarians, readers groups and girlfriends who hosted my book talks, book signings, and discussions this past year. It's been an incredible year and I can't wait for 2006.
Happy Holidays! ~Jane
