Imani Erriu in conversation with Daphne Tonge at Waterstones Piccadilly

We are delighted to welcome Imani Erriu on the publication day of her debut novel Heavenly Bodies. The opening instalment of Erriu's cosmic romantasy finds Elara caught between warring Stars, as rivals for her affection embark on dangerous games.

Imani Erriu is the author of the romance fantasy series Heavenly Bodies. She is a graduate from the Manchester Metropolitan University where she received a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and Creative Writing. A Lake District born girl, she spent most of her childhood in the forests of the English countryside, which definitely gifted her an overactive imagination. When she isn't crying over her own fictional characters or daydreaming up her next plot twist, she can be found eating pasta and watching The Office on repeat.

Daphne Tonge is the founder and CEO of Illumicrate, the UK's first specialist book subscription box. She is also the founder and MD of Daphne Press, a new Science Fiction and Fantasy publisher. She's judged for book prizes and is an event chair. Previously, she was an award-winning book blogger. She lives in London, but is a Chinese-Filipino born and raised in Manila.

Please note: Book and ticket option includes a copy of Heavenly Bodies (RRP. £20) which will be available for collection on the night.
