What’s better than one amazing author? A whole bloomin’ bunch of them! Today’s brilliant romantasy author panel, featuring: Lauryn Hamilton Murray, Laura Steven, Cliodhna O’Sullivan and Chair Safa Ahmed. There’ll be a chance to hear about their inspiration, their processes and to get your book signed afterwards.
AND, as if that wasn’t enough, there’ll be loads of activities to keep the afternoon buzzing. Think: a snuggly reading booth, mindful colouring, and a specialist recommendations section with the chance to ‘Read One, Pass It On’. And with anyone in their craft era, we’ll be doing some lush collaging to create your own Housemate reader profile.
Get a break from real life and come hide with us in the prettiest venue in town.
