Chocolate and Romance…Can life get any better?

For the past few weeks I’ve been using my Sunday slot to blog about my goals and progress. Well, not much to update this week so I thought I’d let you know about an upcoming event you might be interested in.
Every year on the first weekend in February a large group of romance authors participate in the annual Glendale Chocolate Affaire. This is the 12th year and the event is noted as one of the best chocolate festivals in the U.S. So, for 1 weekend a year, Murphy Park, in downtown Glendale, AZ. gets transformed into a chocolate decadent wonderland.
This year the event has been shortened by 1 day because the Superbowl will be in town the same weekend. (Not looking forward to the traffic!) But nonetheless, myself and 26 other romance authors will be under the canopy on Friday the 1st, and Saturday the 2nd, in front of the Glendale Civic Center Plaza sharing our tales of love with the world.
A new twist has been added to the mix. The PR department at the City of Glendale thought it would be a great idea to get a male cover model to do some appearances throughout the event. So I contacted the few “names” I know in the industry and one came through! Thank you, Jennifer Ashley for getting me in contact with cover model, CJ Hollenbach.
I’ve been chatting online with CJ for the past couple of days and he is now in contract negotiations with the City of Glendale. Keep your fingers crossed and send positive energy out to make this happen.
We have a great line up of authors in attendance again this year. I’ll post another update closer to the event with complete listings but, if you find yourself in Glendale, AZ during the first weekend in February stop by and say hi. Grab a book or two, or three and have them autographed by the author. Did I forget the chocolate? Simply sinful. Chocolate dipped cheesecake, chocolate or caramel apples, the list goes on and on. For more details on the chocolate vendor who started this event you can visit their site at: Cerreta Candy Co.
That’s all I’ve got at the moment.
If you’re in the area, stop by and say hello. You can never tell what the conversation may entail. With 20+ romance authors? Usually pretty interesting.
Take care all.
Cheers,
Kayla
