“Spectacularly written is this well put together tale of love, hope and passion.  Tracy Goodwin has managed to rekindle a sense of joie de vivre into my being with the colorful characters of Sebastian and Gwen as they find each other and find love in the process.   Dance with Deception is truly a keeper.”

Four Stars
“A bit dark at times, Goodwin's Regency is filled with emotions, affairs of the heart and a flesh-and-blood hero who isn't perfect but deserves points for vowing to make the lady of his heart his wife. The heroine also is worthy of kudos.”

THE ROMANCE WRITERS OF AMERICA CONFERENCE
DALLAS, TEXAS
JULY 2007

LeeAnn Lessard, me, Hannah Howell, and Morag McKendrick Pippin (Elspeth McKendrick) at their book signing at Barnes and Noble in Humble, TX. We had a wonderful time and both Hannah and Morag autographed lots of their novels! This is the same Barnes and Noble that will be hosting my launch for Dance With Deception on December 8, 2007. Exciting!

The Ottawa Romance Writers Association
Sweet Or Spicy Conference
September 2006

My friend and publicist, LeeAnn Lessard, President of Lessard Public Relations and I tour Gatineau Park and the lovely Mackenzie King Estate. It was a glorious autumn day, perfect for enjoying the changing color of the leaves.

It was a good thing we were wearing our sneakers, because we took advantage of the beautiful autumn day and took the Water Fall Path to the end. The view was stunning!

THE ROMANCE WRITERS OF AMERICA CONFERENCE
RENO, NEVADA
JULY 2005

From left to right: LeeAnn Lessard, Silhouette Intimate Moments and Special Edition Author Brenda Harlen, and I tour Lake Tahoe. The views were breathtaking and the conference was both enjoyable and informative. It was at this event that I pitched my novel to Jake Druga-Marchetti of LBF Books.

I couldn’t have done it without my best gal LeeAnn, who supported me every step of the way and even arranged for the pitch to take place! The same holds true with Brenda, who helped me prepare my pitch and listened patiently while I practiced in our hotel room. These are some wonderful women!

ROMANCE WRITERS OF AMERICA CONFERENCE
DALLAS, TEXAS
JULY 2004

From left to right: Me, LeeAnn Lessard and Brenda Harlen pose in front of Jock Ewing’s portrait at Southfork Ranch. Yes, get the three of us together in Dallas and the first thing we do … go to Southfork! In the summer of 2007, The Romance Writers of America will again hold their national conference in Dallas and where will we visit? South Fork, of course. Can’t get enough Ewing hospitality!

From left to right: Brenda Harlen, Hannah Howell, LeeAnn Lessard and I tour Dallas near the former Texas School Book Depository building. We had beautiful weather although, for those not familiar with Texas summers, the heat can be an obstacle. Not to these gals … they were all troopers and we had a great time!
