An Evening with Abbey Tonkinson takes place at Waterstones in Newport on Tuesday 22 September. The 18:00 start is confirmed; the 19:30 finish is an estimate based on the event format.
Abbey Tonkinson discusses A Lesson in Desire, the second book in her dark-romance duology. The programme includes a question-and-answer session, book signing and meet-and-greet, so readers get time with the author beyond a standard shop appearance. The mix of conversation and signing gives fans several ways to take part. Readers can hear how the second book developed, ask about the duology and leave with a personal inscription. Newport carries enough everyday movement to stop a small event feeling isolated. Shops, food and bus connections sit nearby, leaving the organiser to concentrate on the programme inside.
Tickets start at £3, and the Waterstones event needs an advance booking. The author talk begins at 18:00; the 19:30 finish is an estimate because the source does not state how long the signing line may take. Keep that end flexible if you want time with Abbey. Newport’s arts and creative events include more literary and performance nights. This one is aimed at readers of the series, so knowing the first book should make the discussion richer even though the shop has not set a formal prerequisite.
