Dark, Dangerous & Devoted: Crafting Romance Fiction | Juliette Cross + Olivia Worley Moderated by: Jessica Spotswood

Romance can be both swoon-worthy and spine-tingling. Olivia Worley, author of the psychological thriller So Happy Together, and Juliette Cross, author of the romantasy Firebird, explore how passion and peril intertwine in their stories. Together they’ll discuss crafting unforgettable characters, balancing romance with danger, and why readers are drawn to love stories that keep them on the edge of their seats. The New Orleans Book Festival brings the world’s leading authors to Tulane University for a multi-day celebration of their works. The Festival features both fiction and non-fiction and convenes readings, panel discussions, symposia and keynote speeches. It provides an opportunity for outlets, authors and readers to interact with each other in one of the most vibrant and culturally diverse cities in the world.
