SUMMARY:Author Book Signing with Travis Dombrowski
DESCRIPTION:Step into a gripping psychological thriller where appearances can be dangerously deceiving. \nJoin us at The Viridian Bookshop for a book signing with author Travis Dombrowski\, celebrating his novel Conflicted. Meet the author\, hear about the inspiration behind the story\, and have your copy signed. \nIn Conflicted\, a seemingly ordinary man hides a terrifying secret. To neighbors and strangers\, he’s just another face in the crowd. To his wife and children\, he’s a devoted husband and father. But behind that ordinary life lies a serial killer struggling—and failing—to silence the violent urges that drive him. \nAs the body count rises\, Detective Lieutenant Mike Valentik becomes determined to stop the killer before another young victim is claimed. But can the detective catch him before it’s too late? Or will the killer’s own inner conflict finally bring an end to the nightmare? Along the way\, Conflicted also explores the devastating impact that one man’s darkest secrets have on the family who never saw them coming. \nPerfect for fans of psychological suspense\, crime fiction\, and page-turning thrillers\, Conflicted delivers unexpected twists that will keep readers guessing until the very end. \nWhether you’re already a fan of Travis Dombrowski or looking for your next can’t-put-it-down thriller\, we hope you’ll join us for this special event. \n  \nEvent Details:\n🗓️ Date: Thursday\, July 30th\n🕰️ Time: 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM\n📍 Location: The Viridian Bookshop \n💰 Cost: Free!

You have only one hope of making it home: you must complete your delivery at all costs. The recipient holds the planar coordinates required to guide your ship back to the Material Plane\, and if the cargo does not make it\, neither do you.\n\n\n\n💚 Why Tickets Matter: \nYour ticket helps support our talented Game Masters by covering their time\, creativity\, and materials used to craft these adventures.
