Having a nice quiet night curled up with a book and the dog. Doesn’t get much more relaxing than this.

As I’ve been intentionally doubling down on shopping small and supporting local, I’ve found myself online less and more connected within my community.
Almost like… we were meant to live this way.

Did some baking to relax, then spent some time reading before bed. About the best way I know of to avoid the Sunday Scaries.

Hallmark needs to start making Hallowe’en romances. She’s a gal from the big city seeking a new life in a small town. He’s a mysterious horseman cursed to throw his flaming head at passersby for eternity. And when these two meet one night, sparks, and heads, will fly.

Small indie bookstores have less leeway to take chances on books outside their wheelhouse, but they're fiercely loyal to their customers, and they pay close attention to preorders as well! All indie preorders are good indie preorders.
Preorders really help us at small indie stores too!
Our buying budget is limited, and we can't order everything. Preorders let us know there's interest, even if we initially skipped over the book.

When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was:
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display

Re: that last repost: this year has been horrible for everyone in small-shop retail, long before the election, but this month has been awful for many of us. Your local indie needs your business now more than ever. Capitalism won't solve our problems, but indie bookstores are more than that.

Popped my head out of my office to talk to a family in the waiting room. They immediately told me that they’d read my holiday romance in a single sitting over the weekend and gushed about how it truly felt just like a Hallmark movie.
Like a professional, I grinned, profusely thanked them, then hid.

In a few hours I’ll be making the Autumn Nights Charity Anthology donations.
While the readership has dropped off with no new books being made, I’m still proud of the impact made by authors offering up their stories.

Anti-book ban legislation has been proposed in Michigan.
I had a chance to look at the proposals from the state library association months ago and they're GOOD.
Michigan may join several other states in being an anti-book ban leader soon.
