What happens when eight authors from different backgrounds, writing different stories, and many meeting for the very first time all end up in one live conversation? Pure chaos...and a whole lot of fun.

Join me as I chat with Lexi James, Mya More, Kelly Kay, E.E. Star, Kat Savage, Meg Alivien, Elle Rivers, and Kat Summers, all of whom attended Smutmas in the Smokies in Nashville. We talked about their books, writing journeys, favorite tropes, and what readers can expect from them at the event.

The conversation was full of laughs, great stories, and the kind of bookish energy that reminds me why I love this community so much. I had an absolute blast getting to know these incredible authors and can't wait to see what they do next.

Tickets for the 2026 event have closed, but tickets for the 2027 event are now available. Visit @smutmasinthesmokies on Instagram for more details.
