Romance is more than just stories between the covers of a book, and many hope the tales spring from the pages and into their lives. For the readers gathered together in historic St. Augustine for the St. Augustine Authors Event their fantasies are about to come true. Some have visions of doing more than just getting a signature from their favorite author or cover model, while even authors arrive hoping for a little spontaneous adventure. Lives change during this weekend event as people take the fantasies, which have kept them warm at night, from the pages of their novels to bring the heat into their lives as well as their sheets.

Fangirls: The Collection brings together five stories from five different ladies and shares the relationships they are hoping turn out to be more than just fantasies.

Fangirls is created by R.C. Wynne, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author.

It turned out to be a gathering of Amish residents.” Chris groaned, already cluing in on the debacle. “Needless to say, no one wanted to even talk to me about science fiction.”


“I bet they thought you were Satan’s messenger,” Chris said through his laughter. Everyone else was laughing, as well.


“I didn’t even know there were Amish in Florida,” Benson said with a shake of his head. “Apparently, in Sarasota, there’s a neighborhood known as Pinecraft, which is an Amish community. Who knew?”
