The acclaimed authors of the newly released anthology "The Villains Club: A Delightfully Devious Anthology" are joining forces with independent bookstore Mysterious Galaxy to present an author panel and book-signing event. The event will feature a lively discussion of the anthology, followed by a Q&A session and book signing. Authors Dr. Janina Scarlet, Jonathan Maberry, Chance Kistler, Dennis K. Crosby, Dave Beaudrie, M. B. Bruce, and Robin Talamas will introduce the audience to the anthology’s 18 captivating villains. “On the surface, these villains may seem like ordinary scoundrels, delinquents, bandits, and baddies. Scratch the surface and you'll find all the complexities, contradictions, impossible choices, and longing for connection that make even villains human,” said editor Janina Scarlet. “You'll get to know misunderstood monsters, overworked overlords, demons with major Inhuman Resources issues, and even a few villains who might actually be heroes.” For those unable to attend, the authors will personalize and sign books to be mailed directly to fans—whether they reside in an evil lair or a fortress of solitude. More information is available through the publisher Divine Feminine Publishing and the host bookstore Mysterious Galaxy. https://divinefeminine-publishing.com/events
