Author Spotlight- Charlotte Howard author of FOUR LETTER WORDS

Reblogged from Author/ Writer Julie Young: Today, Charlotte Howard (a fellow Rocking Horse Publishing author) has stopped by to share a little about her book FOUR LETTER WORDS. I haven't known Charlotte long, so I was very excited to get to know her a little bit and I know my readers are going to love […]

Bookstore Wednesday – Repeat

I’m a little cranky this morning. Maybe a lot cranky. Things aren’t going well at the store, but hey – we got some press coverage! Sort of. I mean, not to complain (or maybe I am), but we’ve been virtually ignored for two and a half years until now, when the axe starts to fall. […]

What? Prepping for What??

I’m going to depart from my usual “Prep Monday” post and dedicate this week to our efforts to stop the closing of our bookstore, All on the Same Page. You’ll be seeing a lot of posts, here, there, and everywhere, simply because I have a hard time giving up! Besides, this is it – we’ve […]

It’s HERE!!!!!!!

For all of you SEVEN DIRTY WORDS fans, Charlotte Howard’s new release is now available: FOUR LETTER WORDS continues the story of Paige and her amorous adventures – and her horrifying experiences as well – and it all culminates in a second-guessing match: Should she? Could she? Did she? And yes, TDS is back – […]

There's Nothing I Hate More...

Reblogged from Schevus Osborne: There's nothing I hate more than bookstores closing. It was a pretty dark time for me when my favorite chain store, Borders, closed up shop several years back. Lately there's been a wave of local indie bookstore closings and relocations. Now, my favorite indie store, All on the Same Page Bookstore, […]

Bookstore Wednesday – NEW Memberships!

It’s come down to this: IF All on the Same Page Bookstore is to remain open, we need to get some cash. So we’ve come up with a novel (ahem) approach: PATRON – $500 annually One new book each month, in-store or special order Four used books each month, in-store Free coffee or tea each […]

Prep Monday – Building a Business

Hey, SHTF peeps – it’s been a while, huh? Well, I’m a little busy with a lot of this-and-that going on, but I’m back now, and posing a question: If you believe that a collapse (fill in your preference) is imminent, would you start a business? Would you continue to run your own business – […]

Gee, I Don’t Know . . .

Kinda feel like we have a really awful disease and everyone is gathered ‘round to weep and wail, choosing their outfits for the funeral, planning the wake. I’m not opposed to a wake, mind you, in its proper time. We’re still here! And it’s business as usual until February 1st. We still have great books, […]

The End is in Sight

Just like Main Street Books in St. Charles, AOTSP will begin closing out at the end of January; unlike MSB, it’s not because we’re retiring. Darn the luck. Only a miracle can make a difference at this point. Sales were way down in December, half what we expected, and things are . . . tight, […]

Prep Monday – Brrr, It’s Cold!

Yep, it’s been a while. No excuses, no apologies. Okay, the holidays were hectic, and I’m still working on end-of-year stuff, but . . . here I am! Here I am, sitting in sub-zero temps – outside, not inside, thank heavens. Although my tub/shower pipes seem to keep disagreeing with that. My point is that, […]
