Coastal Magic Con: February 22-25

Appearances, Blog POST A COMMENT by

It’s been a very busy Monday, complete with trips to the vet, the pharmacy, art payments, and other things.

Gordon and I will be joining Jeaniene Frost at Coastal Magic Con on February 22-25. It’s a small casual con in Daytona.

The schedule is still being adjusted but right now it looks like we will have panels on Friday and Saturday. We will post the exact time after the schedule is set. We will be coming in Thursday, 22nd, and for once, our schedule is very light – they only put us on two panels – so if anyone is attending and would like to do an informal meet and greet, please comment below, and we will try to set something up.

If anyone is attending, would you like to have books available to be signed? I just told them 5 of each of Magic Bites and Burn For Me, but if you want more options, please let us know.

  2. If only Scotland wasn’t quite do far away I would have been there in a flash to get a signed book . Have a lovely time at the convention. Fridays Roman post was excellent as always . Thanks for all your hard work and imagination .

  4. Suuuuuuueeee I have never done a con before but my sister is in FL so what better sister road trip than a book con!!! I was planning to bring some of my books but some there would be good. Burn for me was the first of yours I read!! so stinkin’ excited

  5. I will see you two there! Steve will be dropping me off, but not staying. He will also be picking me up on Sunday, so if you want to see him we can make it happen.

  7. I wish I could go. Thank you for sharing your schedule, please keep doing it. One of these days you will be in my neck of the woods.

  8. It’s my first conference. I would love to meet you both that weekend. I love your books both written and recorded.

    • No plans for that, I’m afraid. Costal Con and Dragon Con in 2024 are the only appearances, at least for now.

      • Dragon Con in Atlanta GA Labor Day weekend???? That’s in my neck of the woods. I have always wanted to see what it is like but I don’t truly fall into the gaming/cosplay/fantasy world but I will definitely want to go if IA will be there. Any BDH members planning on attending?

        • I was just looking to see when that was so I could ask if they were going. I need to research that some more to see if I can go this year.

        • I hope to go! I went once before with no cosplay and watched some author and actor panels (boy meets world).

          might be worth checking out the guest list if that helps. for instance, an editor for penguin random house that works with Patricia Briggs will be there.

  10. Ugh, going to FL in March🤨
    Have fun, Daytona reminds me of alot of great spring breaks😜ahh the good ole days!

  11. How nice/ with only two panels maybe you can get in some beach therapy 🙂

    I love that you just offered a meet and greet! You’re not in my neck of the woods but it’s a lovely and appreciated gesture to the BDH!

  12. Yay! You are coming to Daytona! Hopefully my work schedule will allow me to drop by! Get reservations for Millie’s for great farm to table food. For yummy treats, Cherry Hill and Kow Lick have great ice cream, both are about a block apart and within walking distance to the event.

  14. I cannot wait!! I took vacation time from work to attend! An informal meet and greet would be fantastic! Travel safe!

  16. This sounds great! Too bad I can’t make it this time since I’m having surgery on the 12 and won’t be able to travel that far yet. Hopefully next time.

  17. Hello! I am so excited you are going to Coastal Magic. I have attended almost every year and I’ve been a featured blogger for the past three. I was really looking forward to moderating one of your panels and getting to sit down and chat. However, family obligations have me pulling out of attending. I’m soooooooo sad that I can’t make it. I hope you will consider going another year so I may get the opportunity to work with you! Enjoy! Jennifer and her staff of volunteers are amazing!!

  18. I would like a meet and greet! If we already own your books can we bring a copy with use to get an autograph?

  19. I will be attending and I am very excited to do so! I last attended Coastal Magic in February 2020 (literally days before the Covid-19 shutdown). While I am not new to book conventions, I will be attending this one solo, so an informal meet and greet would be amazing, not only to meet you in a more informal setting, but to connect with other members of the BDH. 🙂 I have recently purchased a new copy of Clean Sweep to bring with me to the convention for your signature. I definitely would have no reservation on purchasing the remainder of paper versions of the Innkeeper series (currently I have all of the e-books and audio (both versions)) from you, if they are available.

      • I am going likely coming solo as well. I would love yo meet up with other members of the bdh.

        • Yay! I’m not sure the best way to share contact details in a blog comment but I can also just run around yelling BDH until you identify yourself 😉 I’ll look out for other singletons!

          • I am also likely to be solo and was wondering if there is a way for the BDH to connect. The last time i was in Daytona for a book convention was 2006 RT book lovers con. It was huge and very spread out but so fun to meet authors and fans. Good times.

  20. Yes! I would love to attend an informal meet and greet. I hoped to buy an autographed book while I’m there. Whatever one you bring is wonderful. I’m so excited to attend the conference.

  22. I would love a meet up 💕
    Saturday? I’m over on the other coast, and would be able to make it over there for the weekend. And yes! To a signed book. Every and any would be fantastic.

  23. Yay for all those able to attend! It sounds lovely. You both are so kind to offer a meet and greet with signings! 🤗

    May you have a wonderful time, lots of fun with Jeaniene, and plenty of time for relaxation as well! 😊

  24. Have fun! Florida in March sounds like a good idea. Probably no iguanas falling from the trees by then.

  25. I would love a meet and greet. Looking forward to the conference. Bringing some of your merchandise to sign as well.😁

  28. I am crushed! I’ve lived in Florida for the last several years, but moved to Washington State in July (grandchildren). I’m sure it will be excellent and it’s a great time to be in Florida.

  29. squeeee I live orlando. Unfortunately I work thur/friday night so couldn’t come till Sat afternoon or sunday but would definitely be up for stopping by for a meet and greet!

  31. I would love to!! I will be there the entire event as well. I was so excited to see you and Jeaniene Frost on the attendance lists!

  33. I signed up for the conference (first time) because you are going, so a meet and greet would be wonderful!

    For books, I would be very happy with buying a print copy of Magic Bites, or anything else. I have read them all.

  34. I will be attending and would like both books please. I would also be interested in attending a meet and greet.

  35. Hi. Love that both are speaking. Speach will be Like Nevada speaking to her family. Can we the horde after a while. Have a video of you both. Speaking to the houses?
    Sincerely a person of the horde.

  36. Oh man! I’ll be at Chatta Con in Chattanooga that same weekend! would have been lovely to see you guys again. Maybe another future appearance at DragonCon?

  37. Enjoy getting away from Texas for a little while.

    Unfortunately I will be at work those days. Have fun with those of the Horde who can be there. 😎

  39. I will be attending specifically because you and Jeaniene will be there and I recently moved to FL! I would absolutely love an informal meet & greet. I generally read ebooks and collect hardcovers (can’t wait to get my hands on your Arcane Society editions).

  42. My friend and I are coming to Costal Magic (mostly) just for you two!! It will be our first book convention. We would be absolutely THRILLED to attend an informal Meet and Greet with you!

    And if it doesn’t come to fruition, we will be thrilled just to join your panels and get some books signed by you. Thanks!!

    • Oh, also – I am planning to bring my own copy of Magic Bites to have signed, but I would love to purchase a copy of Burn for Me to have signed for a friend. (Hidden Legacy is her favorite series.) Is there a way to request a copy so that we can make sure it’s available for purchase and to have signed?

  45. Me and my bestie and both so excited and would love a meet and greet. Any chance of some of the Inn Keepers at the signing? Somehow I only have the first in paperback. Can’t wait to get some of my Kate Daniel hardbacks signed even if I can only bring three.

  46. I am going now… I met you in 2009 in Orlando and I am so excited your coming back this way. I don’t know if you have any Kate Daniels – Wilmington Years but I would love to purchase them if you do 🙂

  47. I would love to have an informal meet and great! I am a long, looooong time fan 🙂 I recently moved from Seattle to Miami and when I saw you were coming to Coastal Magic Con with Jeaniene Frost, I immediately signed up <3

    I'd love to have you sign Clean Sweep but can also bring a copy if that's easier! I'm going to do my best to cosplay, as well, hehe. If I can rope my step kiddos into it, we'll have a little posse. But otherwise you'll just have an AMA pregnant lady either in a robe or with a plastic sword 😉

  48. Hi Ilona Andrew’s- I will be in Orlando for a business conference the week after so I epwill fly in either Thursday or Friday to attend the Daytona-con. I’m secretly “fan-girdling”. I hope to see you in Daytona

  49. I would love a few minutes to meet with the two of you at Coastal Magic.

    I’m an avid reader, and aspiring (although humble) writer. I think writers are GODS!

    Please let me know if you have a time to meet.

    Thanks

  50. I will be at Coastal Magic and would love to meet. We are going to be there on Monday (coming from Ohio, hoping for warmer, sunnier weather).
