April 27th, 2019 is National Independent Bookstore Day: I’ll be posting about some of my favorites! Not only are these great shops, they are stops along my book tour from last year, so I’ll be posting some pics and memories from the trip. Join me today for a virtual tour of some great bookstores!

First stop: Malaprop’s Bookstore and Cafe!

I was overjoyed to have the launch of my first novel in my very own local store, my happy place, and my home away from home. It was wonderful!

The wonderful Caroline and Lauren of Gold Leaf Literary helped me set up the tour and worked with Malaprop’s to prepare the most gorgeous book launch.

You can find me often sitting in “my office” (the cafe) writing on a current project or making this post, for instance. I love this store!

Come visit this amazing pillar of the community in Downtown Asheville, NC!
