No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury has done the cruise thing. This time around she's staging a vacation like none other -a trip she hopes will be unforgettable for everyone who signs up. The event is the Exclusive KK Beach Party (Premier Vacation and Events) at the Tradewinds Resort Island Grand in St. Petersburg, FL, October 25-28, 2014.

"My readers are looking for something new, something inspiring and relaxing and still the best time ever and definitely on the most beautiful beach, "says Kingsbury. "We will laugh, learn, and hang out together with people like Korie and Sadie Robertson, people who are changing our culture for God." 

The event will also include concerts by top Christian artists, and special sessions with Karen that will help readers grow in love and faith. TradeWinds is on twenty acres of sugary sandy white beachfront, and Kingsbury's guests will all have access to private oceanfront cabanas.

"Readers could literally spend the day with a book on the beach, or take the trolley up and down the coast to explore the St. Petersburg coastal area," Kingsbury said. "This time together will change the lives of people who go. They will leave ready to love better, laugh more often, and live out a deeper faith."

The exclusive KK Beach Party has it all - and it's on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Also available are activities such as tennis, miniature golf, paddle boating, snorkeling, and parasailing along with other possible excursions. The exclusive four-day vacation will include a beach BBQ, a worship service on the beach, and sessions morning and night.

"We expect this event to sell out," Kingsbury said. "So I'm encouraging my readers to sign up now." Packages for the Beach Party start at $75 a month and go on sale today via www.karenkingsburybeachparty.com
