First, thank you to my partner in crime, Abigail! I contacted her in march with this crazy fest idea because even if it all sounded great in my head, I was scared to dive in alone lol. She jumped right in on my crazy-wagon, so thank you Abigail, I couldn’t have done it alone <3

ReplyDeleteI had a great time finding new authors and books during your paranormal summerfest. I checked your blog first thing every morning and was sad today when I realized it was July 1st, nor more PSF.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your hard work - it was fun!
I think we should be thanking you for hosting such an amazing fest! You gave us some insight to fabulous authors and their work. Then hooked us up with chances to get our hands on it! You did an amazing job! Congratulations!

ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting a way fun event!! It was great reading all the interviews and seeing how covers are put together and how names are chosen and the wicked fun guest post with authors! You gilrs rocked it!!
ReplyDeleteJust the amount of time planning and organzing PSF, that's devotion gals! My hubby and I want to say we really appreciate all the work Tynga and Abigail did.
ReplyDeleteAs for ideas, the only thing we can think of is maybe a live chat/reader Q & A to open or close the festival with a few of the authors. Basically something that allows the reader the chance to interact with the author(s).
Thanks,
Dawn & Ron
