Today is Independent Bookstore Day! Head to indiebound.org/independent-bookstore-day/map for a searchable map of indie bookstores participating in this national one-day celebration.

We congratulate L.D. Lewis on the release of her debut novel, Year of the Mer, “a dark, bloody epic fantasy reimagining of The Little Mermaid that goes far beyond the fairy tale to explore family legacy, war, and what we will sacrifice for vengeance.” We are so proud of you, L.D.!
