Celebrating success!

“If you don’t celebrate your successes, who will?”

I’m celebrating the success of my first ever author “invitational” yesterday. It meant so much that these three ladies chose to join me for three hours to promote their books. And it meant even more that so many from the community showed up to support them! Our Beach Read Author Invitational was a huge success, and lots of readers left with a book by their new favorite author(s).

I’ve said it before, but I don’t do this to make a profit. I do it because I love it. I love creating a space for creative people to share their work. I love meeting readers who want to find something new and different. And I absolutely love it when I come across a way to help readers and authors meet. As an author myself, I know how much that connection means!

And so I say thank you to the authors who joined me yesterday, to the regulars who stopped in to meet them, to the neighbors who came in for the first time, and to the visitors who came in on a whim and stayed to meet the authors. All of you help make this bookstore a success. Let’s celebrate!

P.S. If you didn’t make it in, no worries! I have all these books and more in the store! And stay tuned for information on my NEXT author invitational. Coming soon!
