I met up with my first Wet Noodle Posse member (aka Noodler) of conference week when the fabulous Theresa Ragan (a double Golden Heart finalist this year) came to the train station to pick me up.

After a hilarious beginning in which Theresa’s car inadvertently got locked in a private lot — oops!
— and we met up with a loon of a toll booth operator on the Bay Bridge, she safely dropped me off at the hotel. But I was able to spend some more time with her and the other Noodlers later in the week when we met up for breakfast.
Here we have (from front to back): Priscilla Kissinger, Debra Holland, Lee McKenzie (fellow Harlequin American author), Esri Rose and, standing, Janet Mullany.

And here we have (also front to back): Theresa Ragan, Merrillee Whren, Lorelle Marinello and Delle Jacobs.

Another day, I met up with fellow Noodlers Anne Mallory and Janice Lynn in the lobby of the hotel.

And on Thursday night, Janice won the National Readers’ Choice Award for her book The Doctor’s Pregnancy Bombshell. Yay!

Yay, Janice! Reader’s Choice Award!!!
I love the Noodlers. Great pictures, Trish. I had the best time seeing you, especially talking to you during our grand adventure from parking lot to hotel!
I don’t think you’ll ever let me pick you up at the train station again!?! You make such a great board member and I’m so proud of all you have accomplished. You’ve been such a help to me over the years. Thanks!
