new « Robin Writes

A few months ago, our cover designer came up with an awesome book cover – sadly, it didn’t quite fit with our upcoming title, but then he had a lightbulb moment: let’s do a ghost story anthology!

So we put out the call for local ghost stories and got quite a response – well over 50 submissions during the two-month period. We couldn’t accept them all, but ended up with more than 30 finalists. And next week, we’ll be presenting Spirits of St. Louis: Missouri Ghost Stories!

They’re creepy and they’re kooky; they’re mysterious and spooky; they’re altogether ooky. Oh, wait . . . that’s the Addams family. Never mind. But you get my point, yes? We’ve got some really cool stories here, things that make you go “huh?” and ones that make you jump up and turn on all the lights. All of them. And make you lock your doors. And keep looking over your shoulder. And avoiding closets. And highways.

You can pre-order now, through RHP, and the books will be available in print and E-versions – Kindle, Kobo, and Nook – in the next couple weeks.

Many thanks to all our authors, you did a great job!

That’s a pretty lame title, and I hope you won’t hold it against me because –

Well, we have a LOT of stuff happening this month!

To start off, ALL week long we have 10% off local authors’ books – and that includes local publishers – AND you can register to win a Kobo E-reader. Just stop in today, tomorrow, or Saturday!

Speaking of Saturday, THAT is our big anniversary celebration! Yep, two years ago, October 1, 2011, Al Hrabosky and Tom Mee were there for our ribbon cutting. The eight weeks leading up to that, after we decided to open a bookstore, were pretty hectic but totally worth it!

So, anyway, on Saturday, noon to 4:00, we’re having refreshments, giveaways, and a drawing for that FREE Kobo – AND, we’re hosting the Deadly Duo with their two new books! Bill and Sharon Hopkins will be in town presenting River Mourn and Killertrust – you do NOT want to miss this!

We’re also having Liz Schulte in the store on October 12, and Jo Hiestand and Estelle Luttrell on October 19. Great authors, fantastic books!

Coming October 26, we’re having a Halloween party! But not just ANY Halloween party – Rocking Horse Publishing is launching a new book: Dickinstein. Food, fun, and absolute CROWDS are expected – live music, too, thanks to Davey Vaughn of This is Our Dance, an awesome local band!

Now that I’ve used up my allotment of exclamation marks for the foreseeable future, come take a look at our Facebook page and website and see everything we have to offer at All on the Same Page!
