KCon started out when fans learned that Sherri
makes a yearly pilgrimage to New Orleans to scout sites
and revisit old friends from when she lived there. When
they first said they'd like to come to, Sherri thought
they were kidding. Then in 06 she put it to the test.
She expected about 50 people to sign up. Over 1000 did
in less than a day. Now the cap for KCon is held to 150
attendees so that Sherri can spend quality time with her
fans.

K-Con always
begins with a party and ends at Brennan's, a
restaurant that Sherri used to walk past every
day on her way to work at Jackson Brewery. Even
though for years, she stared at it wishing she
could afford to eat there, it wasn't until her
publisher took her there in 2001 that her dream
came true.
It's a
dream she loves sharing with her fans. Brennan's
really is an incredible experience and the
Bananas Foster is to die for.

Factoid: In 2007 K-Con registration filled
up in less than 20 minutes. In 2006, the 200 limit was
filled in less than half an hour and over 800 people
were put on the waiting list.
Fans routinely attend from countries as
diverse as the West Indies, the UK, Germany, France,
Belgium, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Norway, Finland and
Italy.
During KCon, Sherri routinely holds
charity auctions to help the people of New Orleans as
they rebuild their community. There's even a scene in
Ash's book where he's working on a house for Habitat for
Humanity. When Katrina hit, Sherri was never prouder of
her fans who donated thousands of dollars to the Red
Cross in the name of Nick Gautier, one of the
Dark-Hunter characters who grew up in New Orleans and
who takes his name from Gautier, MS-- one of the towns
hit hard by the hurricane.
