Authors After Dark Paranormal Event Recap


This past weekend was the first Authors After Dark Paranormal event featuring a host of paranormal authors and readers from across the country and the world.

At left, that's me and my critique partner Judi Fennell, author of the Mer trilogy from Sourcebooks. We're at the Masquerade party Saturday night.

At right are the winged women at the Masquerade. So many different wings and costumes, all gorgeous.


At left are author Cat Johnson
and me, light and dark.

I met so many great people this weekend, talked to readers about their likes and dislikes, talked to other authors about the industry and had a wonderful time. I sat on three panels: Faerie Tales, Witches and Shapeshifters. It was amazing how many variations on the same theme authors can come up with.

Many thanks to Jacquelyn Frank and Stella Price for organizing everything. If you missed this year, don't worry, we'll be back next year. It's already in the planning stages.

I'll be there. If you're a paranormal romance fan, you should be too.

Ooooh! I didn't know you got a pic of me and Joey during our talk. You'll have to send it to me.

Great post! Hope to see lots more readers there next year!
