Stuff at the ‘Store
We hit a new high today – and I’m certainly not referring to the temperature outside all day. All day. As in, we barely broke freezing, if you don’t count the windchill. And I do. Count it, I mean. Back to the point: today we shelved our 115th local author. Um, his books. Not him. […]

‘Tis Not Quite the Season
Nope, not at our bookstore – no Christmas music, no tree, no decorations. Not yet. But I do want to mention a few things about the upcoming holiday season: Sorry, no gift-wrapping this year. I’m terrible at it – I’m sure the recipients of all the books I sent out today, plain shipping bags, a […]

Prep Monday – American Blackout
Anyone see this on the National Geographic channel? We DVR’d it and watched a few nights after it aired. Just when we got to the part where transformers started blowing, I got a text from someone telling me had blown in our area. Creepy, and not even Halloween. The basic premise was that the US […]

New Faces at AOTSP and Rocking Horse Publishing
As many of you know, Dennis had to go back to his day job a couple of months ago – those pesky bills and all, right? And I’ve been working up here at the store. It got really difficult, really fast, to juggle all those balls, so we hired our son, Carson, to work evenings. […]

Prep Monday – How will you know?
Let’s say you’re on the way home from dropping the kids off at school; you’re at the halfway point. Suddenly, you hear jets screaming overhead and huge explosion shakes your vehicle; off in the distance, you see a black cloud of smoke rising. What do you do? Do you go home, grab your BOB, batten […]

Prep Monday – Brrr, It’s Cold!
Okay, so it’s not “cold” cold. Yet. But it’s pretty chilly out there at 50 degrees and overcast. And colder at night, of course. So are you ready for that? It’s one thing to stock up on food and water, and even cooking fuel, and sure, you think about the cold weather – the real […]
