Tressie and I feel strongly about one thing--our readers rock.

Without them we wouldn’t be where we are now. Their commitment to our characters, the way they can relate to our books and quote their favorite part of any title, we think it's amazing! So when we decided to have a reader appreciation event, it wasn’t for money or for prestige but to say thanks for their support and devotion to our books.

 Our event was held at Amelie’s French Bakery here in Charlotte, NC. It's known for delicious French pastries, an eclectic ambiance, and amazing service. The buffet they created for us was divine, and the desserts melted in our mouths. More so we were able to talk up and personal to our readers about everything from the news to social networking. But mostly as all readers do we talked about books. What our favorite books were, what they liked, and heck we even traded a few names and got a line on new titles we may want to try. Families, lives, loves nothing was off limits including boobs and bra sizes. It was all great fun, and of course we’re already in the planning stages of a winter event for Christmas. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that we can get these ladies, gents, and a few more guests into the Christmas spirit. 

Of course, we haven’t forgotten you our online readers. We have two of the fabulous goodie bags left, and they are yours! Comment on this page about the blog or pictures. Sign up to be one of our mocha swirl regular readers, and you will be entered to win these bag packed with fun author swag. The drawing will be on Monday bright and early!! Thank you readers far and wide. We appreciate you and adore you more than you could ever know. We plan on getting a T-shirt that says Kiss A Reader!! That's how committed we are to bringing you good stories that make your heart beat faster and stirs romance into your blood. Even if it’s only in a book, we want each happily ever after to be memorable time and time again.

Live the life you love, love the life you live.

Dahlia and Tressie
