🎃👻 GET READY FOR THE 13TH HALLOWEEN! 👻🎃

This spooky season, bestselling author Tim Welch, aka Autumn Gravestone, is back with his 4th book — and this one is sure to become a Halloween family favorite!

📖 13TH HALLOWEEN
13 Spooky Halloween Tales Wrapped in Life Lessons

Tim Welch is a bestselling author whose work has already earned a place in the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., with two of his four books included in its collection.

Now he’s bringing the magic, mystery, and fun of Halloween to a whole new generation.

🕷️ 13th Halloween is written with young readers ages 4–8 in mind, but these spooky stories are made to be enjoyed by the whole family as you get ready for Halloween night.

Think back to those classic Scholastic book-fair days — the excitement of discovering a new book, bringing it home, and diving into a world of imagination. Tim is bringing that feeling back!

🎃 AND THERE’S A SPECIAL TREAT! 🎃

With the purchase of each book, your child will receive a Halloween Treat Bag packed with spooky goodies! 🍬👻🕸️

Because Halloween isn’t just about costumes and candy — it’s about imagination, storytelling, family, and keeping the spirit of the season alive.

📚 Come meet Tim Welch / AUTUMN GRAVESTONE

🎃 Get your signed copy of 13TH HALLOWEEN
👻 Take home a spooky treat bag
🕷️ Make a Halloween memory your family will remember

13 stories. 13 lessons. One unforgettable Halloween.

Nebraska State Fair, THANK YOU. 🥹📚✨

What an absolutely incredible two days.

Getting to pull our little bookstore into the Nebraska State Fair and set up inside that massive arena was one of those “how is this actually my life?” moments. ❤️

Thank you to every single person who stopped in, smelled the books 😂, browsed the shelves, bought a new read, complimented the trailer, told a friend about us, or simply came over to see what the heck a bookstore on wheels was doing in the middle of the fair.

And a HUGE thank you to everyone who continues to support Nomadic Novels and allows this crazy little dream to keep growing. Every event somehow feels bigger than the last, and I genuinely cannot believe where this bookstore has taken us already.

Also — shoutout to the man pictured inside the bookstore who built this entire thing and then willingly spent an absurd number of hours at the State Fair with me & kept our sweet son happy over this long weekend! 😂🫶🏼

Nebraska State Fair, you were one for the books. 😉📖

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

Until next time! 🤎✨
