Purchase Tickets Below
Wicked Book Events are different from other signings. They are reader-centric, so we have less readers per author, allowing a more intimate experience with your favorite authors. To do this, instead of having authors at tables and readers lining up for their 60 second signature, we have a buffet lunch and after party, as well as other events still in the works.
There will be a traditional signing before the luncheon on March 8th so you may buy books, get signatures and swag beforehand, then bring them into the lunch for a more personal approach.
Hotel guests get in an hour early with their key.
Hotel information can be found here.Schedule can be found here.Authors can be found here (currently being updated with author links and book covers)Area Information can be found here.
Tickets can be purchased for just the signing and lunch, with the after party sold separately, or you can buy a combo ticket. The combo lunch and after-party ticket is sold at organizer’s cost for food only. Questions about how the event is priced? See Event Pricing.

Confession
So lately I’ve been running away from the books I’m dying to read, and I dont think I can last much longer! Reason being is every time I pick up a great book, I start to think (and by no means is me thinking too hard a good sign!) CRAP what makes me think I can write well enough to publish my stories. So then I run away never reading the books waiting for me on my kindle app. But today my friends im picking up Ruin by Rachel Van Dyken again one of my favs and reading the damn book! CANT TAKE IT ANY MORE!!!!!!!!

Heart’s by Fire Blurb
Patricia Allenz was a somewhat typical girl. For the past few months, she’d been busy counting down the months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds until her first day of college at Port Townsend University, in Washington. Patricia’s life was a simple one as far as she knew. Most of her memories involved her family, which consisted of her younger brother Kellen, and her Abuela Viola. After her grandmother’s death on her sixteenth birthday, Patricia was convinced that day had been the worse day of her life.
Wishful thinking, on her part. On the night before her first day of college classes, her grandmother visits her in a dream. What starts out as a reunion between the two rapidly turns into a complete nightmare.
From that night, forward her path changes from a straight and narrow one to a totally different realm all together. It does not help that along the way the men that she’d loved at one time, or rather centuries ago, are so conflicted that she cannot decide who to trust. Her body craves them both, but her heart only sings to one of their souls.
Patricia is forced to face truths she cannot understand, betrayals from loved ones, and a love so powerful she would die to keep him safe. A new world of archangels, demons, and witches threatens to swallow her whole. She has the choice to run away from the unknown or live up to the title Archangel Princess of Alpheratz forever.
Will Patricia stand up to her fate or will she crumble and fight against what is destined to come?
