New Orleans is one of my favorite cities as most of you know. Arriving there for the BookLoversCon I could feel the excitement in the air. The event opened with a Jazz Fest and I was one of the authors sponsoring a little booth there giving away fun things. The Jazz Fest was one of my favorite events at the large conference. I loved the music and the line of people parading into the room with smiles, laughter and obvious joy. It was such a great start to the conference!

The speed dating with my Starfish writer’s group was especially fun. We’ve been together for years but, this was the first time we’d done an event as a group. Readers sat at tables and each of us rotated around the room, meeting each person. Everyone got a personalized champagne flute and a custom bracelet with charms from each Starfish group member. We told wacky fun ‘secrets’ on each other so it was hilarious!


The Biker Babes lottery event was fun and I had such a great time learning about other author’s MC books. And of course it’s always a treat catching up with Khloe Wren .

The costumes at the fairy ball were beautiful. Even I dressed up! Those let me tell you, fairy wings can be dangerous! LOL


Of course the highlight is always meeting readers, finding new authors and catching up with old friends. That’s what I loved most. I am excited to have found new authors and can’t wait to start reading those books!








It all ended on Sunday with my big lottery event which was brunch and a swamp tour! Our group was adventurous and fun and we had a great time seeing the Louisiana Bayou together with Captain Neil of Pearl Eco-Tours.


It was a whirlwind of fun and now I’m back home getting back to writing until I leave for the Reader & Author Get Together in Ohio in early June!

The Reader/Author Get Together (RAGT) in Ohio is one of the most fun events! This was my first time to attend but, I’d heard all about it for years.

I love that it’s a relatively small event. I really love that it’s all for charity. I was able to stay in a central location, meeting other authors and many readers as I walked around the event. It was casual with everyone just chatting and sharing their love of books.



The charity raised $32,000 for CancerFreeKids


If you’ve never attended this event, I highly recommend that you do. Authors and readers create amazing raffle baskets and then everyone buys raffle tickets. The proceeds go to the charity. The baskets are amazing and so much thought is put into them. There were several children’s baskets, many homemade items, themed baskets like Doctor Who, beach reads, pirates, coffee, wine and more!



I donated several baskets that included a variety of things. One basket included every single Dark book I’ve ever written. There were also other books in different series, scarf and glove sets, and other super fun items. Oh! And I even won something myself! I never win anything! Seriously! LOL I won this amazing stained glass pane with the GhostWalker symbol on it created by Capstone Glassworks! I love it!




I really loved everything about this event. And Lori Foster, who created the event, is a warm and wonderful human being in addition to being a fabulous writer. It was so amazing to have a chance to just walk around and chat with people for a few days. When authors and readers get together it always ends up magical!


While I was there Lori Foster interviewed me and it was really fun. I talk about the Shadow series, Shadow Warrior, my writing schedule and lots of other fun things. I hope you'll watch the video. You can see it here- LORI INTERVIEWS CHRISTINE
