What a joy it was to be joined by four other authors and a few dozen readers on April 23 for the Novel-Tea Evening with the Authors! We held this event at the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, since I was already there hosting a weekend-long Windy City Saga Tour. (Read more about that here.) After a few years of barely any in-person events due to the pandemic, it was even sweeter to be able to gather in one room and talk about books and writing over tea. Every attendee was given a gift plus a program which included all kinds of fun extras related to our novel-tea theme. You can download this as a PDF and take a look at it yourself here.

In the photo above, we authors are standing in front of the Palmer House lobby. But I bet you want to get a really good look at the lobby right? I don't blame you. Here you go:
Our event was in the Crystal Room on the third floor of the hotel. First things first: fix a cup of hot tea.
The centerpieces for each table was made of vintage books, lanterns, and teacups with fresh roses.
We had a lovely group that night!
You can view the program as a PDF here.
The best part was seeing our reading friends enjoying themselves so much!
After our panel ended, it was time for book sales and signings!
It was such a treat to meet so many readers!
The Novel-Tea Evening with the Authors is a wrap, but I'm still smiling about it!
