We have such a lovely program set up for all of you this Bookstore Romance Day, August 15th! In addition to offering a discount on all of our romance titles, we have a special guest speaker, and a writing workshop for you all to enjoy! Swipe through and see the details of those events!

PS - take that quiz in our Bio for Vanessa's talk!

Every life has its in-between stretches. Some arrive by choice, some without warning, and either way there is a season where the old shape has gone and the new one has not arrived yet.

Myth is full of company for that season. Romance novels are where one of those companions is most legible, and Vanessa Couto has been calling it the Threshold Lover: the figure who does one thing none of the guides do.

Saturday, August 15. Archetypal astrologer, storyteller, and host of the podcast Romancing the Threshold, Vanessa is here for Romance Day to introduce all eight
of them.

Take her quiz first and find out which one is accompanying you this season. Link in bio. Then come meet the rest, and leave with something to read.

Introductory workshop to writing and publishing in Romance! Bring your notebook, pen, and curiosity!
