First, friends, let me apologize for being AWOL for a while! Real Life has been pretty hectic the past few months, both with joyful events and challenging ones. And of course national (USA) events have been turbulent. I’ve been trying to embrace the joy and rise to the challenges.
One joy is a new bookstore in my area, The Book Lounge. It prominently features romance (several subgenres) a well as other fiction and provides a great place to hang out as well: comfy seating, coffee, lots of books to browse.
They are excited to support local and indie authors. I’m pleased and proud that they have agreed to stock Handsome and Hideous in their Indie Authors section.
If you’re in the St. Pete area, definitely check them out!
