Nothing says Valentine's Day like a hilarious rom-com... unless it's twenty or more! I was chatting with author Carolyn Miller the other day about the makeover for Random Acts of Shyness and found out that she's part of a FABULOUS box set of rom-coms that I thought you might want to hear about.

The New Bookstrings Series and Spines & Leaves Release
The idea came to me while on vacation a few years ago. I wanted to write a series of books about bookstores—not a single bookstore and multiple books about that, but about multiple bookstores in small towns across America. My problem? I didn't know what the point would be. What connected those Continue Reading
Is Anything Better Than Christmas at the Inn?
