If you’ve followed my socials, you’ll know I love an author talk. One of the hardest things I found when I moved to Melbourne was finding them all, especially those with romance authors. So to help anyone out who is in the same boat, I’ll keep collating a list.
Come and join me as I explore all the bookish events I can find around Victoria.
