Chelsey Ann Tompkins - Q/A & Signing (June 19)

Join us on June 19 from 7:00–9:00 PM for an unforgettable evening celebrating Beast & Thorn with indie author Chelsey Ann Tompkins.

Step into a frostbitten, curse-bound world where a fallen goddess is tied to the king of a haunted underrealm - and must decide whether to break the spell that binds them… or surrender to the dangerous intimacy growing between them. Beast & Thorn is a lush, gothic romantasy blending Beauty and the Beast with Hades and Persephone, filled with obsession, tenderness, and high-stakes desire.

The evening will feature a live Q&A with Chelsey, where she’ll discuss her writing process, worldbuilding, and the inspiration behind this dark fairytale retelling, followed by a signing session.

We’ll also have free refreshments and themed baked goods to make the night even sweeter.

Tropes to expect:
Cursed goddess • Haunted beast king • Obsessive MMC • Morally grey FMC • Reverse age-gap • High spice

Whether you’re here for the yearning, the tension, or the gothic atmosphere, this is a night you won’t want to miss.
