Witchy women. Bad decisions. Plus size heroines who refuse to shrink themselves for anyone. 🔮✨

We’re excited to welcome to Lore & Luster 2027!

Katie writes fantasy romance packed with magic, chaos, emotional tension, and unapologetically badass plus size leads taking up space at the center of the story EXACTLY where they belong.

Her books lean into the messy, powerful, dangerous side of fantasy, where witches don’t always follow the rules and survival often comes with a cost.

Inside her stories, you’ll find:

- witchy vibes and dark magic
- fierce plus size heroines
- romance tangled up in danger and destiny
- chaotic energy we fully support

Katie’s works are the perfect read for anyone who wants fantasy heroines who are powerful, complicated, and impossible to overlook.

What started as an idea built out of love for books, fantasy, romance, and this incredible community turned into something bigger than we ever imagined in 2026. Seeing so many of you show up, support this event, meet your favorite authors, dress up, dance at the ball, and make real friendships meant everything to us.

And somehow… 2027 is already growing even faster.

We still have a few more headliners left to announce, and we are so excited to finally start sharing what we’ve been working on behind the scenes. There is so much more coming.

If you’ve been waiting to grab your tickets, this is your reminder that early bird pricing ends May 15th at midnight. The moment the clock hits midnight, prices increase.

Thank you for believing in Lore & Luster the way you have. Truly. We cannot wait to build another unforgettable weekend with all of you!
