A well-produced local newspaper has approached me to write book reviews on a "semi-regular" basis. My first thought was, "...When am I going to get time to write?!" (One possibility is that I could give up some CNN news. I know more about Michael Jackson than I care to admit.)
It seems the store has taken on a life of its own. In the bookshop we are seldom alone. When we first opened two years ago, a bright, young English student fell asleep in the wing chair and was startled hours later when a customer opened the door.
A priority today is the involvement of local authors. Their shelf-space, signings, readings, discussions all contribute to the richness of our bookshop. Readers enjoy meeting writers -- novelists and poets alike. Essential to the author's success is promotion and advertising. Essential to our book shop's success is promotion.
Our newspapers play an important role in our community; I welcome this opportunity. Stay tuned.
