Between gay hockey guys and sexy dragons, romance has the publishing world in a chokehold.
Tampa’s romance hot spot, Steamy Lit, hosts an author panel and pop-up shop celebrating all things Romantasy this weekend at East Lake Library. Authors L.L. Campbell, Ligia N. Cushman, Luna Laurier and Allie Shante will speak on a panel about the power of horny writers. Plus, themed activities and a spicy raffle.
There is no cover for Celebrating Romantasy on Saturday, July 18 in Palm Harbor.
