Anytime I have the chance to spend time with readers, I grab
it. Especially if it means I get out of cooking dinner. I have to say this was
one of the best events I’ve been to. The readers were so much fun and everyone
was really nice. I wish I’d been able to see some of the city, but the weekend
was packed.
The highlight of the weekend was a luncheon on Saturday. All
60 authors decorate their tables with a theme. I chose the French Revolution
since I have a book set during the French revolution coming out this summer.
Here are a few pictures.
Some of the other decorations were cockades, like the ones
the revolutionaries wore to show their loyalty to the republic; a set of
Robespierre earrings; and a real assignat, which is the money that replaced the
livre when the monarchy was overthrown.
All of the tables were amazing, and it was so much fun to
walk around and see what each author had done. I think the readers had just as
much fun as we did.
Are there any events like this near you?
So cool!
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to get to that one, but it's always full by the time I try to sign up for it.That's one reason I started my own romance reader/author conference!
