We will be at The Book’s Better Bookshop in Smith’s Falls along with three other awesome authors (Emily Murray, Kate Cole, and Christine Krause) and we will have all our books on hand for personalized signings.
This will be our last in-person event before the holidays, so drop by and fill your loved ones’ stockings with books!
We’ve been invited to be a part of the Charlotte-Lemieux craft fair on Thursday, December 12, 3-6:30
Location: 2093 Bel-Air Dr
There’s free parking (pay attention to the signs, especially before 3:30 when the busses are present).
This will be the last time this year that we’ll have coffee and crochet at a craft sale, so come get your stocking stuffers and teacher gifts (coffee is a great gift for your kid’s teachers!)
We wrote a holiday short story set the first December after Kennedy and Jason get married. They go to Kennedy’s holiday party at work, and, well… Let’s just say that the weather isn’t the only thing that’s freezing.
This short story and several others will be read on Renaissance Press’s YouTube Channel this Sunday December 8th at 2pm EST. Come celebrate the holidays with us!
Starting today, and running until the 7th, we are taking part in the December Dash!
What is that, you ask?
Great question!
This is the inaugural event, where indie fantasy authors make book bundles of their signed physical books (and bonus content!) available to you just in time for the holidays! Link to the website with all the authors here.
Assassins! Accidental Matchmakers is the book we’re advertizing with the event. Check out the bundle options below. Please note that if you buy from our store, we will pay the tax, whereas if you buy from another store (Indigo, local bookstore, etc), you may not need to pay shipping. In both options, you will be able to get your hands on the bundle, but if you buy from another store, we will only be gifting the PDF versions.
Of course, you can buy other books from our store as well! We have some pretty great options (and we’ll throw in some bonus stuff for every book bought), including this one:
Note the free 2oz bag of coffee with that one!
We are really excited to participate in this event!
