Vroman’s Bookstore of Pasadena, California, is the first brick and mortar bookstore to offer The Harem directly to its customers. You can buy a paperback copy off the shelf. They’ve also added The Harem paperback and ebook editions on their website as well.


We are very grateful to Vroman’s for adding The Harem to their romance collection! Though Thomas Sweeney is a local, California author, Vroman’s immediately placed The Harem on an end of the isle shelf with world-renowned authors such as E. L. James, Sylvia Day, Maya Banks, Anne Rice, Sylvain Reynard and L. Marie Adeline.

Vroman’s has been established in Pasadena California since 1895. Be sure to keep books alive, and more importantly, keep local bookstores alive!

The Harem’s First Book Signing Dinner Event Review and Update

The First Book Signing Dinner Event for The Harem was a success!


Thanks so much to Christina and Jeff from Manifesto Cafe for having us and providing a delightful jazz trio and the spectacular menu! Thank you to everyone who attended! Thomas had a blast being able to speak with all of you as well as to answer questions and read an excerpt from the book!


The exquisite menu that was cooked by Christina, one of Manifesto Cafe’s owners, was a berry salad with a yummy vinaigrette dressing, curry Shepherd’s pie and a chocolate coffee ice cream that was infused with coconut and cherry flavors.


Aside from signing books, we also gave away two The Harem Tote bags, some bookmarks and customized The Harem Post-It Note Pads. Take a look at the photos below to see what happened.


We hope to see you at the next The Harem book signing event!
