About this Event

About Sophia DeSensi

Sophia DeSensi is an award-winning author of fantasy and romance. She’s won awards for her short fiction, such as Tiny Hearts in the anthology Dragons of a Different Tail, Bone Kindling in the anthology A Very Ghostly Christmas, Ghouly Girl in the anthology Tales of Monstrosity: Monsters, Myths, and Miscreants, and Fairly Dead in the anthology Enchanted Tales and Twisted Lore. She earned a Bachelor’s in creative writing with a minor degree in medical anthropology from the University of Central Florida and a Master’s of Fine Arts in writing popular fiction from Seton Hill University.


About Villainessly Blonde

Charlie Green is the most popular fashion influencer in Nautville until her followers find out she gained her following through mind control. When her himbo boyfriend breaks up with her publicly, he reveals her ‘Glitch.’ The companies drop their contracts with her quicker than she can say ‘viral,’ and her following count dwindles way too close to double digits. Fallen from fame, she joins a reality dating show for Glitches in a desperate attempt to gain back her fame. She becomes quick friends with a tech heiress with invisibility and a villain with poisonous plant powers; and she becomes quick enemies with ‘The Pretty Power Posse,’ a girl with pink laser vision, a girl with irridescent hair, a girl who creates violet light beams, and another who manipulates scents. She’ll rebrand herself, gain back fame, and embrace her Glitch, all while attending cyber punk fashion shoots and extravegant dates in the clouds. And that’s the only reason she joins, she’s certainly not going to fall in love on a silly reality dating show.
