About me: The brain child of author Kerry E. Wagner, WagFest Litertainment, is a literary conference and bazaar that, although not exclusive, caters to independent authors, poets, musicians, comedians, and artist. It started in 2007 in New Jersey where a close knit group of authors got together in the spirit to sell books and have a good time. Since then, a second WagFest in March 2008 - this time in Seattle - proved to be a huge success with standing room only and a larger group of artists that traveled cross country to participate in this event. The saying at WagFest is "come as strangers but leave as family" and that has proven true time and time again.
Most artists know that building a successful career out of their art takes time, dedication, and support. Support is something that our familes are sometimes not willing to give readily. In linking up with WagFest, you have a community that will back you and as we grow so do YOU!
In March 2008, WagFest Seattle consisted of a bustling poetry party, book bazaar, Passion Party, and a night out on the town. Special guests, BET Comedian D Lamont Hall and CJ Johnson of Hiram Clarke Films were in attendance, and CJ taught a class at the conference on how to turn your book into a film. CJ has an impressive resume and has worked with some of the best in the film industry. He provided a plethora of valuable information on the movie industry along with offering his services to convert your book into a film or play.
Our HOME city is Seattle, and so every year in March our main event will take place in Seattle. However, WagFest does extend invitations to other cities to HOST WagFest, so if your city is interested contact us here on myspace and we will see what we can do to accommodate you.
The event in Seattle for 2009 will be March 13-15th, so go ahead and start making plans to attend this lively event. Trust us when we say - YOU WILL NOT WALK AWAY THE SAME!
READERS, FRIENDS, FANS, PEOPLE WHO LOVE A GOOD TIME:
You do not have to be an author to participate in WagFest! The whole vibe of WagFest is having a good time. We believe in hard work and we believe in hard play, so if you want to experience a beautiful weekend in the beautiful Seattle, WA and relax, relate, release and then party with some really down to earth people.

“ISLAND BEAUTY is the best piece Marlene have ever written. She have
really matured as a writer. There is great suspense and conflict.
Marlene shows life and how it really is, even when we think we have
good friendships, life can throw us a curve ball. I really enjoyed
reading her story it was great, the tone was good and it was exciting.
Keep up the good work!”

Sage Churchill has always had the best of everything, a loving father
that gave her everything her heart desired and good friends to kick it
with, which always made life more exciting. She thought her life was
perfect, until the day her father makes a deathbed confession that
shatters her world as she knows it.
When Sage finds out that her mother, whom she was led to believe died,
may be alive and living in Jamaica, her world is turned upside down.
She is faced with the toughest decision of her life. Does she search
for a woman she’s never known or does she ignore her longing for a
mother’s love?
Sage, Nicky, Tish, and Lace have been friends since pre-school. But
their relationship suffers when they bring the drama to Sage’s
doorstep. Her girl, Nicky, has gotten herself involved in the drug game
and has Sage’s name all caught up in the mix, bringing the authorities
to her door. Tish, has a mystery lover and when that person’s identity
is revealed, it may tear the girls’ thirteen year friendship apart and
possible cause one of them to lose their life.
Will Sage find her mother and live happily ever after? Will she survive the drama?
