Author Flora Collins celebrated the highly anticipated launch of her latest book, "A Small Affair," with a launch party held at the charming Book Club in the East Village. The event was a colorful gathering of literature enthusiasts and fans eager to dive into the pages of Collins' captivating storytelling.

The evening kicked off with an audience participation Q&A session, where attendees had the opportunity to engage with Flora directly. From insights into her writing process to the inspiration behind the characters and plot, the author shared intimate details that enriched readers' connection with the book.

Afterwards, Flora graciously signed copies of "A Small Affair," personally connecting with readers and leaving a lasting imprint on their literary journeys.
