BE SURE TO CHECK BACK OFTEN TO SEE WHAT OTHER AUTHOR SPONSORED READER EVENTS WE ARE ADDING!
STEAMY WEST Party sponsored by legendary authors Ciara Knight and Hildie McQueen ~ Don't believe we are legendary, just ask participants from RomFest 2012!

Come dressed in your best SteamPunk or Western Wear. Costumes are optional, but just remember prizes are involved. Don't say we didn't warn you!

Mingle with people from ships to saloons. Saddle up to the steamy fun with an interactive scavenger hunt. Make sure you check out the room because you never know where an answer might be found. Look high, low and under. The thing you seek can be hidden in the room, costumes, and even on the RomFest staff!

Steampunk horn sounds to announce the reader feud game. Four teams will be chosen. Do you think you know what sexual position is overused? What is the most annoying plot line? Still have your scavenger hunt sheet? Great! Listen for clues because that grand prize waits.

Prizes:  books, steampunk and western theme gadgets and gizmos, 
t-shirts and much more.
