A Romantic Adventure Christchurch 2026

Kia ora! Nau mai, haere mai! (Hello and welcome)! I'm Stephanie Ruth, Kiwi author of addictive romance set right here in Aotearoa. I write slow-burn, multicultural romance with comedic elements (and oftentimes gritty backstories) that envelope you in blue-collar New Zealand. Novels, novella, and short stories with interconnected yarns that each stand alone, but can also be read as a series—that's is my jam. You will also find one-degree-of-separation between some characters in Otago Waters and the Boutique Series (because that's what Kiwis do best)! Expect a 3.5 chilli-factor 🌶 I will have some related merchandise available for sale at the event, and you are welcome to choose a free gift with any multiple-book purchases (until stocks last). You are also welcome to bring your own books for me to sign 😊 If someone else is going to collect your books for you, please make sure to note this in your order or have them present a copy of the receipt at the time of collection. Any questions? Email me: stephanie.ruth.nz@gmail.com Looking forward to meeting you all!
