What a wonderful evening Abbie Clements ‼️
Huge thanks to Bren Nick Stone for joining us, and to Greg Greg Mosse for leading such a warm, open, and insightful conversation. It was fascinating to see Bren challenged - we all learned so much about his writing journey and the inspiration behind

Bren is just as lovely in person as you’d imagine, and his book is a must-read! We still have plenty of copies in stock, so please pop in to get yours. And of course we have copies of Greg’s many titles too.
