August Book of the Month

The KM Shea/AM Sohma Champions Facebook group has been hosting a Book of the Month events and for August they picked The Little Selkie (from the Timeless Fairy Tales series). All this month there will be fun discussions and games in the Facebook group and we would love for you to join us!

Join the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/270905490838433

If you haven't read this story yet now is a great time to read the book along with everyone else!

It's also a great time to reread it if you've previously finished The Little Selkie.

To keep the celebration going there will be Little Selkie/Little Mermaid themed games and posts all month on the Facebook page and Instagram, so you can join in the fun even if you aren't part of the group!

SheaCon 2024: Wrap Up

SheaCon 2024 was last weekend and it's time to share the panel audio recordings!

But first I want to give a big thank you to all the Champions for attending, and for being such an amazing group! All of the panels and activities had great participation. It was so much fun to hang out with, laugh, and celebrate books with everyone, which is what the goal for Sheacon has always been.

Every year I also thank the Sheacon Planners–without them none of this would have happened, and they not only started organizing everything months ago they also have worked hard to make Sheacon smoother/more professional every year. Additionally, they acted as hosts for panels/events/games during Sheacon! They bravely kept up the conversation while running panels, organizing the group games, running the Retha and Dragons (or FATE) sessions, showing us all elf dancer stretches, and more.

Thank you so much to Akira, Anneli, Amanda, Ayrin, Batattack, Bluefires, Chelsea, Cheybri, Cindy, Cwang, Eleniel, Ellie, Emarynn, FrogPrincess994, Gwen, Jordan, Kamashida, Kimberly, LouBerry, Miriel, Prolly, QoP, Rachel, RayJay, RoseTen, Vin, and Zooknar. You guys are the best!

This is also the perfect chance to thank and salute our Chief Sheacon Planner, Cindy. Cindy puts in serious hours organizing the conference–the scheduling she has to figure out months in advance is intense! She’s pretty much a professional chaos wrangler, and I’m so grateful for her.

Finally, I want to thank our Director of Discord, Vin, and the Mod Squad– Smasher, Batattack, Cimorrene, and Rog–for helping all the new members in our discord server who joined so they could attend Sheacon, and our Facebook Mods–Megen, Sarah, and Jocelyn–who kept our community Facebook Group informed in the lead up to Sheacon!

Also, a big thank you to Melanie Cellier, Deborah Grace White, Shari L Tapscott, and Brittany Fichter who were our guest authors this year with a special call out to author Kimberly Rogers who hosted our relationship analysis panel.

FebFest 2024

Every summer we have SeaCon which is a fan organized event hosted on Discord with guest authors and fun activities. Last year we experimented with a mini event in February and this year the SheaCon Planners are bringing back the fun! You can look forward to fun activities like bingo and trivia!

Here's a special message direct from the planners with all the details: Come one, come all to SheaCon FebFest 2024! For a few hours only, Kitty’s discord server will be hosting special Sheacon activities. We hope to see you there on Saturday, February 24th starting at 1 pm US Central time. The channels for the event will magically appear here on Kitty’s server when it is time to party.  If you haven’t joined Kitty’s discord server yet, learn how to here! Sadly, I (Kitty) will not be attending FebFest this year because I will still be frantically working on the final book in the Magic on Main Street series. But it will still be an amazing time and there will be a lot of fun things you can do even if you haven't read all my books. I hope you have a blast!
