Author Event & Giveaway: Authors in the OC

Authors in the OC
Embassy Suites, Anaheim – October 4, 2014

I’ve been planning to attend this event since sometime in June when I heard two of my favorite authors, including Tarryn Fisher and Tara Sivec were finally going to make an appearance in Orange County, California.  Myself and a fellow bookie friend of mine bought our tickets and marked our calendars for this amazing event that would be raising awareness and money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.

The line-up was incredible!! Check out all of the lovelies that gathered to make this event incredibly successful.
With over 30 authors in attendance, we had to plan our strategy of who to go to first and let me tell you, it was quite difficult to decide! Here are a few of the authors I was excited to meet!!

Ella James, Tara Sivec, and Rachel Robinson

We also got to speak to the following authors, which I have to say that I often get star-struck, so it’s usually an exchange of polite smiles from them and goofy, jaw-dropped looks from me.  Here are a few more that were fun to meet.

Beth Ehemann, J.L. Berg, Krista and Becca Ritchie

These gracious authors came loaded with lots of swag and stacks of books available for purchase, which always gets me in heeps of trouble. For this event, I’m proud to say I maintained some restraint. I walked away with two humble book bundles. One for me and one for a lucky Waves of Fiction follower, so let me share…

As I mentioned earlier I was extremely excited to meet the amazing author of The Love Me With Lies series Tarryn Fisher. When I stopped by her table, I got Thief signed as well as the token penny that makes an appearance in every book! Pure excitement! I also got a signed book of Seduction & Snacks from the talented author Tara Sivec, which also came with some fun swag.
 











For the giveaway, I put together a bundle of swag, including the event tote bag, some book markers and a signed copy of Sweet Home from Tillie Cole and a signed copy of True Love Story by Willow Aster.
Overall, the event was a blast!! There were a few moments of chaos, but considering the top tier line-up, the event was extremely organized and well run. I can’t wait to see who they have on the line-up for next year.
This giveaway is open to U.S. Residents only. You must be a Waves of Fiction follower on GFC and Bloglovin to win! Good luck!
