Fables & Flames, a romantasy book convention with a fantasy ball and mermaid pool party, returns
Founder Rachel Silberman and author Amanda Meuwissen say the 18-and-older convention at the Hilton Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport has about 60 authors, 20 bookish crafters, a tea party with authors, a fire and aerialist show, a drag show, flash tattoos and adoptable puppies and kittens.
