About the Events

Wild & Windy Book Events are multi-day romance book conventions hosted annually in Chicago, New Orleans and Vegas by Nicole Huffman & Michelle Mankin. In past years we have donated to several charities. In 2026, we are making donations to the food banks in the cities where our signings are held. To find a local food bank near you, go to FEEDING AMERICA.
