Do you have a favorite bookstore?
The nearest bookstore to me is 35 miles away. I haven’t been there. There are a few second-hand stores nearer that have a small assortment of books, but no extension selection. None of them are my favorite.
There’s always an on-line store. You know the name. I’ll buy an occasional e-book from them.
So where have I bought my new books this year?
If you follow me on social media, you know about all the events I participated in this past year. Everything from an organized book signing to a comic book con to local community festivals. I’ve met a lot of other authors and bought and traded books. I did nine events this year and I believe I ended up with seven books. (There were two events that I was the only author at.)
The number of authors was limited, but they were all ‘local’ and represented a variety of genres. Local to the bookstore’s location, anyway.
So, my favorite bookstore is over 100 miles long and about 40 miles wide. I hope to expand that next year. It includes dozens of small towns, farms, and state game lands. Places like Oleopolis and Frizzleburg. Maybe I’ll even make it into a few ‘real’ bookstores. That’s my goal if I get my work in progress ready for release in time. (I’m making progress. I’m at about 59,000 words. It has gone places I didn’t expect and hasn’t gone a few directions I’d planned!)
