We are so thrilled that ELLIE ELISABETH will be joining us!

Ellie Elisabeth is an indie fantasy author who creates hidden worlds where angels, demons, mortals, and mythology collide. Her debut novel, The Half Life, launched Ellie’s seven-book Legacy of Lilly series. A Maryland native, Ellie has spent two decades as a professional dog groomer and built her own pet grooming business before adding “author” to an already unconventional resume. When she isn’t writing, she can usually be found horseback riding, working out, exploring the outdoors, or spending time with animals. The Half Life: When grief pushes Lilly to leave her small Michigan town, all she has is a cryptic note, an old locket, and a one-way ticket to Wakefield, Maryland, the town her mother once called home. But Wakefield is no ordinary place. Here, the air hums with ancient energy, shadows whisper secrets, and time itself feels… different.

Strange pains in her wrists awaken when danger draws near. A boy who’s not quite mortal seems bound to her path. And everywhere she turns, there are echoes of a world behind this one, a world of angels, demons, and something called a Half Life.

As she pieces together the truth about her heritage, Lilly finds herself at the heart of a celestial war she never asked to fight. But in a world where souls are currency and fate is written in fire and stars, Lilly may be more powerful than anyone expected.

We are so thrilled that Megan L. Adams will be joining us!

Megan L. Adams is a new fantasy romance writer. She was born and raised in Georgia and is the oldest of seven siblings. She’s enjoyed reading and writing since elementary school, but just recently picked up her pen to write her first novel, Shadows Within the Fire. The sequels, Bound by Earth and Ice and Echoes of a Crimson Storm, are now available. The series finale, Black Dahlia Rising, is releasing this September. Megan currently lives in Washington DC with her husband, her two children, and her golden retriever-husky mix, Toma. In her spare time, Megan enjoys drinking coffee, exploring local bookstores, and tending to her collection of orchids.

Evren is a young fae coming of age, but not her powers. She’s always been viewed as a pawn by her father, pushed aside by her mother, but adored by her brother. Now she is forced into a mating bond with an abusive male. Tired of being used by the men in her life, she runs. Though she’s lived a life of isolation and pain, she knows deep down she was made for more.

Delrik, The Hunter, has a hidden past and is trying to find a way to atone for all the atrocities he committed during the war. Darkness and death follow in his wake wherever he goes and whomever he hunts. The internal struggle between desiring solitude and an unknown force pulling him in a new direction has him questioning everything.

Fate throws Evren and Delrik together in a dangerous game of trust and love, altering the path of their futures. They have to set aside their fears and figure out a way to stop dangerous magic from falling into the hands of a High Ruler on the precipice of a takeover.

We are so thrilled that JENNI HOWELL will be joining us!

Jenni Howell is the author of Boys with Sharp Teeth, a New York Times bestseller and most anticipated young adult novel of 2025 according to Goodreads, Paste magazine, The Nerd Daily, and more. She is also the author of Teach Me to Prey and Most Accomplished Liars. She has dabbled in archaeology, espionage, heavy construction, and the equally mind-boggling career of middle school teacher. Now she writes words that have been called “BATSH*T” by Maggie Stiefvater and “darkly delicious” by New York Times bestselling author C.G. Drews.

MOST ACCOMPLISHED LIARS A group of students at an elite boarding school finds out their lies just might be the death of them in this twisty psychological thriller from New York Times bestselling author Jenni Howell and Jamie Howard—perfect for fans of Karen M. McManus!

At Grimshaw Academy, an exclusive private school for the privileged, reputation is everything, which means every student has secrets they’d do anything to keep. The members of a tight-knit acting troupe know this better than most. After the mysterious death of their classmate, they’ve closed ranks and kept their mouths shut.

Their production of innocence has the very highest of stakes, but relationships within the group are fractured. To reconnect, the teens ditch school after prom for a bonding retreat. But when they arrive at their destination, instead of the luxury rental they booked, they find a creepy abandoned summer camp.

Someone with an axe to grind has brought them to the perfect killing ground, and getting out alive will take the performance of a lifetime.

She lives in Richmond, Virginia, with her family—including one sweet daughter, one slightly dull sword, and the chaos of many pets, such as the turtle named Muffin, who she definitely did not bring back from any haunted swamp.

The Rogue Devotions series is a queernormative, morally gray fantasy romance series with HEAs for all couples. There might be danger, there might be ghosts and dragons, but the dog lives forever. How I Met Your Murderer is a standalone MM paranormal romcom set in an Irish castle, full of silliness, sweetness, and spice and with a guaranteed HEA. All the White Horses, cowritten with Fiona Fenn, is a MM historical speculative romance featuring a young British lord, a determined Irish reporter, and plenty of Arctic horrors alongside steamy romance.

I can’t say it enough – sponsors are LIFE this year! For 2027 we have found some new besties to partner with us, to bring YOU an amazing event. Thank you to ROMANCING MISTY for your generous donations to our events swag bags!

Misty Simon always wanted to be a storyteller…preferably behind a Muppet. Animal was number one, followed closely by Sherlock Hemlock… Since that dream didn’t come true, she began writing stories to share her world with readers, one laugh at a time. Touching people’s hearts and funny bones are two of her favorite things, and she hopes everyone at least snickers in the right places when reading her books. She lives with her husband in Central Pennsylvania where she is hard at work on her next novel or three. She loves to hear from readers so drop her a line at [email protected].

Misty wll be providing reading passes and pocket hugs, as well as little crocheted ghosties. The reading pass is for if anyone asks you to do something while you’re reading. It’s my written permission for you to say no. Wave it with wild abandon! It never runs out of energy. Alway recharges all on its own. The pocket hugs are for any moments you are having trouble in your mind. Wrap your hand around it and it will give you enough of a pause to right your ship and get on with what you were doing. The ghosties are just plain fun!
