Week 49 of 2023
Greetings all
I’m going to post a number of pictures today of the store. Most of this week has been spent getting ready for the open house, so here’s some of the cool things we got.
Let’s start with the fun part! We have signs, and here’s the picture of the front of our building plus all the Grand Opening details.
We Have SignsThe signs rock, but let’s see what we have inside.
Here’s what we’ve got in the entryway! Some swag (our cups came out so well), and some other cool stuff.

We have an amazing Christmas Tree thanks to Mockingbird Flowers here in Anthony.

Check out this awesome Saint Nick Quilt!

Now let’s look at our book displays starting with the Chris Kennedy Publishing Display. Such an honor to be a part of this crew.

Here’s a display of my books!

Here’s a display of some great New Mythology Press stuff that I’ve had the honor to work with. At the bottom, so amazing alien romances from C.V. Walter!

But where would we be without our friends! Here’s a display showing off a bunch of the cool stuff from Raconteur Press!

And finally, thanks to Baen Books for sending swag to give out! They’re great folks, and here’s a small display showing some of the used Baen Books we have!

Well, I hope that was fun for you guys! We’re ecstatic and hope you can come visit someday, even if it’s not during our open house tomorrow.
