2013 Convention Update

Hi Everyone!

Marla Monroe here to help you find a fun reader's convention to attend in the New Year. I'm going to list all the ones I know about, but if you know of others, please let me know so we can add it to the list.

March 1-3 Australian Romance Readers Convention
This is not located in the US, but I'm planning to go in 2015. They have it every other year. I can't go this year.
Located Brisbane, Australia

May 1-5   Romantic Times BookLovers Convention
This is the largest romance reader's convention there is. Lots of parties and fun, but it is also the most expensive one.
Located in Kansas City, MO this year.

June 20-23  RomCon
This is a smaller reader's convention where you will have a better chance of meeting and mingling with your favorite authors. It isn't as expensive either. You pick and choose what you want to attend and pay accordingly.
Located in Colorado Springs, CO outside of Denver

August 7-11  Romance Novel Convention
This is also a smaller reader's convention, but I'm not as familiar with it. It is locate in a gorgeous hotel in Las Vegas.

August 30-Sept. 2  Dragon Con
This is not strictly for romance readers but many of your favorite paranormal romance writers will attend this. It is a huge convention and can be overwhelming much like RT can be.
Located in Atlanta, GA this year.

October 18-20   Hot Mojave Knights 
This is also a smaller romance convention. I've never been, but will be attending as a featured author this year. I can't wait.

Okay, that is all I have for now. If you know of other romance conventions, let me know and we will add them to the list.

Need Some Help

I'm looking for some answers from you guys out there. What are your favorite types of erotic books? I know male/male are among the top, but if you're not reading male/male, what comes next? What turns you on and holds your attention?

I'm finding that my tastes in books isn't one of the more popular ones. Where I like edgy, gut-wrenching types of stories, some aren't into that. I love happy endings, but I tend to like for my characters to fight to get to them. What are your views?

Between cowboys and soldiers, which wins?

Between cat shifters and wolf shifters, which wins?

Between vampires and shifters, which wins?

Do you like to start right up with the sex scenes or build up to them?

Tell me how you feel about the books you read? What would you like to see more of? I know there are a lot of us authors out there who want to make you happy!

 

I know this makes me happy! What about you?  I'm waiting to find out...
