On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 5, I was lucky to have an event at Laguna Beach Books, a lovely independent bookstore right on the PCH!
One of the things that I’ve learned in the promotion phase of getting a book published is the importance of independent bookstores to our communities. They were without exception wonderful to deal with in terms of being willing to host events for me or order my books if having an event wasn’t feasible. They are champions of local authors and vigorously promote events through social media and in their stores. The folks that work at the stores are avid readers and recommend books that might otherwise get overlooked. So if you’re looking for a place to drop some coin this holiday season, please consider doing so at your local independent bookstore!
