During a trip to St. John’s last weekend, Paul and I stopped by Coles Bookstore in the Avalon Mall. He had an Indigo gift card from his Christmas stocking that was burning a hole in his wallet, and I thought it would be a great idea to see, for the first time, my latest book on the shelf at an actual bricks and mortar establishment.
I wasn’t disappointed. There it was, in the local interest (Newfoundland and Labrador) section.
We left there and visited Chapters, the big box bookstore in the capital city.
Once again, I was pleased to see The Women of Wild Cove on the shelf, this time in the Fiction and Literature section.
At the suggestion of bookstore employee Megan, I happily signed all copies.
Megan told me they would be displayed as author-signed copies for more visibility.
So, townie friends, followers and fellow bookworms, there you have it. Last time I checked, there was only one of my novels left in stock at the Village Mall Coles location. You can get a copy at either of these locations, or at Indigo.ca, as well as Amazon. 📚
