"Where can I get Afraid to Fall?"

I'm asked this question often, which is great. Until recently I would have said you can order Afraid to Fall from Amazon or Barnes & Noble, download it to your Kindle, or, if you and I were face-to-face, me (I carry a few with me at all times). Now I can  respond, "Check out your independent bookstore."

​Independent bookstores are so important to their hometowns and readers. They are also supportive of us indie authors. Getting traction and creating readership is exceptionally difficult.

​Recent travels have taken me to parts of Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois. I expect to get around more this summer, as possible between finishing Afraid to Hope (Ancient Passages Book 2) and four kids' schedules.

Here's the beginning of what I hope will be a growing list of independent bookstores you should visit, and carry Afraid to Fall. They have SO much on the big box stores. Check them out. I promise you will love them!

Anderson's Bookshops (LaGrange, Naperville, and Downers Grove, IL)
Turn the Page Books & Gifts (Westfield, IN)
Readers' Garden (Granville, Ohio)
Main Street Books (Layfayette, IN)
Indy Reads Books (Indianapolis, IN)
Second Flight Books (Layfayette, IN)

Who doesn't love a book club? Think of it, passionate readers who want to discuss themes, character motivation, ROMANCE, story arcs, metaphors, and more. What a win-win! 

Afraid to Fall is the June selection for Turn the Page Books & Gifts' Book Club. 

I'm going to be at the adorable Turn the Page Books & Gifts in Westfield (149 N. Walnut Street, Westfield, IN 46074) on Tuesday, June 18th from 7-9 p.m., discussing Afraid to Fall and the process of writing it with readers. I'm SO excited!  

Need a copy? No worries. Call Jamie and get your copy of Afraid to Fall: (317) 804-2363.

​We're going to have a lot of fun!
