K-Con and Almond Joy Martinis

| Nick and Sherrilyn Kenyon |
Thursday I got to see first hand how a commercial was made when I was invited along with Sherrilyn Kenyon and her camera crew to film “The Chronicles of Nick,” a Young Adult prequel to her extremely popular Dark-Hunter series. With the temperature hovering near 90, I didn’t make it for the full four hours, but “Nick” was cool and collected the whole time. Sporting a bright yellow Hawaiian shirt (his trademark in the books), Nick visited all the spots in New Orleans that take place in the stories. I can’t wait to see the finished product.

New York Times bestselling author, Sherrilyn Kenyon’s K-Con (her own convention for her fans) isn’t officially started and yet the hotel has been crawling with her self proclaimed minions for days. It’s almost more like a family reunion than an author event.
Yesterday was the public book signing and the line stretched forever (as it always does for Sherrilyn and co-writer on her BAD series, Dianna Love). Her fans sported their newest tattoos, costumes and came bearing gifts including a skull mug, Vampire protection kit and candies.

| Elio, the master of the Almond Joy martini |
The Minions took me to a little bar off Bourbon Street and we got to meet Elio who makes the most amazing martinis including my new favorite…Almond Joy.
And, as always on Friday, I invite you to post the books you’ve been reading lately.
Bottom Line: Candy bar flavored martinis…the adult version of the Blizzard.
