Local Bookstores

What could be more enticing for a reader than an independent brick-and-mortar bookstore? Maybe a library. Both venues are community based... your locals, so to speak. And, they can feature local authors. 

I straddle two communities: one is the Washington, DC area and the other is the Lost River, West Virginia area. That may sound like quite a straddle, but I'm not alone in dividing time between the two. You can find one (or more) of my books for sale at People's Book in Takoma Park, Maryland and at WordPlay in Wardensville, West Virginia. How does a local author get support from a local bookstore? By asking to consign at their store. If you have suggestions of other places, let me know. There's nothing quite like browsing books, picking one up and getting the feel of it. Enjoy your summer reading! 

Cheers,
Charise
