Weird time to share art, but I’m finally allowed to share the cover of my next book, THE SHIP OF DEATH, from @harpercollins.bsky.social & Avon A. (9/29/26) Expect some other posts w/ choice blurbs and preorder links! Illustration: Peter Strain/Design: Julianna Lee. Editor @peterkispert.bsky.social
The bookstore owner hat is on in Pittsburgh for ABAs Winter Institute during the first half of the week where I’m meeting with authors, publishers, and other bookstore owners to learn about new books & to discover new ideas to bring to the shop. I’m excited for SO many of the panels.
The energy at Authorcon is absolutely amazing and it is an event I have been looking forward to for almost 12 months - the bookstore actually was a sponsor this year because I want to see it continue to be successful and grow.
View from the office 😌
I’m (Liz) away this week wearing my 2 hats (bookstore owner & horror lover) but the shop is open as normal thanks to the wonderful team (Carey, McKenzie, Michelle, and Sydney!).
The horror lover hat is on during the later half of the week when I drive to Williamsburg for Scares That Care Presents: Authorcon, a horror author convention with panels (I’m on one!) and book signings.
