We’re back, and with a bang!

Join us for a very special night of conversation and storytelling with E.A. Hanks as we celebrate the UK launch of her debut, The 10: A Memoir of Family and the Open Road, as we return with our first evening event in a while!

Over drinks and nibbles, Elizabeth will kick things off with a short reading from the book, before sitting down for a conversation about the story behind The 10 - a deeply personal journey inspired by her own solo road trip across the American Southwest. Retracing a route she once travelled with her mother, Elizabeth set out to better understand the complex woman who shaped her life.

Expect a warm, engaging and thought-provoking discussion - we can’t wait to share it with you.

Books will be available to buy on the night, and Elizabeth will be signing copies.

Entry is free, but space is limited. RSVP at info@nomadbooks.co.uk now to secure your spot.

📣 Adventurers Wanted! 📣

Join us for an afternoon of excitement, imagination, and plenty of unexpected twists as author @emilyhawkinsbooks takes us into the swirling sands of The Pharaoh’s Curse - the fifth thrilling book in her Spin to Survive series! 🗺️ 🧭

Polish your finest compass and bring plenty of sunscreen* on Saturday 27th September at 2:30pm, when Emily will set the scene with a dramatic reading set deep in the Egyptian desert… and then the adventure is in your hands. As a group, you’ll make the big decisions together - solving puzzles, escaping danger, and uncovering ancient secrets along the way. 🐪 🏜️

With the help of Emily’s famous pop-out spinner, we’ll find out what fate has in store. Who knows which way the story will turn?
