bringing rendezvous ’26 to you!
Rendezvous: reader and writer gathering
November 7, 2026
Holiday Inn Nashville Airport
Readers and Writers will gather at the fourth annual Read Write Rendezvous, organized and sponsored by JustRead Publicity Tours, LLC, on November 7, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. CT at the Holiday Inn Nashville Airport. Rendezvous celebrates Christian fiction and sweet reads, featuring corporate worship, speaker sessions, author panels, small-group discussions, games, giveaways, a pop-up bookshop, and book signings.
This event aims to sweeten reading and storytelling experiences with fellowship and encouragement. Over forty featured authors are participating, including The Christy Award Hall of Fame and bestselling author Tamera Alexander who will deliver the keynote address. USA Today and top ten Publishers Weekly bestselling author Lisa Phillips will lead worship. We prayerfully honor the legacy of the Christian Fiction Readers Retreat through each Rendezvous event, and this year we are especially celebrating the very first CFRR which was held 10 years ago in Nashville.
Rendezvous is open only to registered attendees. Want to extend your reader getaway?
The Christy Award Gala and Art of Writing conference will be held at a nearby venue on November 6.

about the book
A broken engagement. An unexpected inheritance. A second chance neither of them saw coming.
After her life takes an unexpected turn, Sarah Crawford heads to South Carolina hoping for rest, clarity, and a fresh perspective. The last thing she expects is to inherit part of a property—or to meet the man determined to take it from her.
Jared Benton has a plan to protect the business he helped build, and it doesn’t include a small-town schoolteacher with big decisions to make. But the more time he spends with Sarah, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them… and the questions her presence raises.
Especially when Sarah begins to wonder if her recurring dream about the house—and a man she’s never met—might not be a coincidence after all.
As past hurts and future hopes collide, Sarah and Jared must choose between the safety of what they’ve always known… and the risk of trusting God with what comes next.
If you enjoy clean romance filled with faith, healing, and heartfelt connection, this story will leave you smiling.
