Hi everyone,

I’m absolutely thrilled to announce I’ll be working with the masterminds behind May’s amazing Smut Club event in Ilkeston again. This time, the event is called Villains and Vices, and is taking place in Sandiacre, Nottingham on the evening of 3rd October! Here’s a little bit about it:

Step into a world of dark romance, dangerous villains, and deadly secrets at the Midlands’ most wickedly bookish event.

Join fellow readers for an unforgettable evening featuring:
📚 Indie authors
🛍️ Bookish vendors
🕵️ Interactive murder mystery – Who Killed the Book Boyfriend?
🎁 Raffles, surprises, and exclusive goodies
📸 Themed photo opportunities
🖤 A room full of readers who understand your obsession with fictional men

Whether you’re a lover of morally grey characters, enemies-to-lovers romance, gothic vibes, thrillers, fantasy, or dark academia, this is your chance to immerse yourself in a night of mystery and mayhem.

Will you solve the murder before the final chapter?

🎟️ Tickets are on sale now www.sparkleandspine.co.uk – but be warned… not everyone survives Villains & Vices.

Sound like your kind of thing? Get your tickets booked before it’s too late! And, if you’d like to pre-order something specific from me to collect on the night, my pre-order form is here: https://beventi.co/orderform/pp65abrhdc (I recommend pre-ordering if you want to ensure you get the exact book/s you want, as I’ll only have a limited amount of stock with me at the event)

I hope to see you there!
