FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

All four of my books (the new Sweater Girl and Other Tales of Mondauk County plus Saving Magdalene, I See No Angels, and Deep Autumn) are now available at DOYLESTOWN BOOKSHOP!

Located at 16 S. Main Street, Doylestown, PA 18901 (215-230-7610), Doylestown Bookshop is one of the Philadelphia area’s greatest independent bookstores. You could browse for hours and then relax in the café. They have an extremely knowledgeable staff, and their event calendar is always filled: Educators’ Night, Children’s Story Time, book signings, and more! Bonus: they are around the corner from one of the area’s best independent record stores, Siren Records.

I will be part of their Local Author Spotlight on September 27, along with three other writers.

It’s a meet-and-greet, and we’ll be signing books too. I will be there from 2-3:30pm.

Don’t forget: I will be part of Harylesville Books‘ Local Author Saturday on September 13 with another writer. It is also a meet-and-greet and signing, from 2-4pm.
