This coming June, the Isn’t it Romantic Book Club (my popular Facebook and YouTube romance book club) and I are heading to Jane Porter’s 2026 Reader Author Get Together in Erlanger, Kentucky. If you’re not familiar with RAGT, here’s a brief description from the website:
Reader Author Get Together (RAGT) is a one-of-a-kind book event created by authors, for readers.
For more than twenty years, RAGT has brought romance readers and the authors they love into the same shared space—not just to sign books, but to talk, laugh, create, and truly connect. Unlike traditional book conventions, RAGT is built around participation. Authors don’t just show up for a signing; they spend four full days hosting games, leading workshops, running panels, crafting, celebrating, and engaging directly with readers.
Every activity, meal, and party is part of what makes RAGT feel less like a conference and more like a community. Whether you come alone or with friends, whether you’re meeting a favorite author for the first time or reconnecting with one you’ve known for years, RAGT is a place where you belong.
At its heart, RAGT is about celebrating the stories we love—and the people who make them possible.
What’s waiting for you at RAGT26:
Two large book signings featuring beloved favorites and exciting new discoveries.
350 readers & 60+ authors gathering for four unforgettable days
Nine boardrooms filled with games, crafts, panels, workshops, and surprises
Nine sponsored meals and four themed parties to mix, mingle, and celebrate.
If you are coming to this years RAGT, you can still preorder some of my books, including my beautiful Blind Date with a Book package. The link is below, and I hope to see you there next year! (Preorders are only for books being picked up at the event. They will not be mailed.)
Next week I’ll share my full schedule for the week, including Dinner with an Author and Breakfast with Your Book Boyfriend!
USA Today Bestselling AUthor Sharon Wray
Sharon’s stories live in small towns and shadowed cities, in motorcycle clubs and military brotherhoods, in haunted woods and broken systems. They range from contemporary romance to romantic suspense to paranormal worlds to gothic women’s fiction. But they are all driven by the same question:
What happens when love refuses to stay silent?
I’m so excited to be going to RAGT this year. See you there
I’m so excited to see you there as well!!
