We are in an era where there are more indie authors than ever and more events trying to capitalize on our need to promote. If you’re an indie author and maybe even a reader who spends any time whatsoever on social media, you’ve probably noticed a huge influx of bookish events.

Enemies and Lovers is a fantasy bookish event put on by Tea and Tropes Events and it was held at the Mesa Convention Center in Arizona on May 9th-10th, 2025.
