Utica, NY – Romance in CNY: A Pages with Passion Convention is set to take over the Delta Hotels by Marriott in Utica on April 26, 2025, for a day of romance, passion, and literary celebration. This one-of-a-kind event will bring together 65 romance authors, local vendors, and special guests, offering something for every romance reader. 

Fans of romance literature can enjoy live podcast recordings hosted by the Sex. Love.

A special treat for attendees, 12 authors attending the convention have contributed short romance stories to a limited-edition anthology, One Night in Utica. All proceeds from the anthology will be donated to Rover’s Do Over.
