Haven Kimmel's Book Tour

Indiana author Haven Kimmel, who very recently passed through town on her book tour, has an interesting post on her blog right now celebrating the people and bookstores that have supported her. Her enthusiasm is wonderful:

"I unqualifiedly and unabashedly love independent bookstores. I’m fortunate enough to live in an area where I have three to choose from, including my hometown store, The Regulator Bookshop (and honestly, there is no reason not to order a book online from a local store – you’ll get it the same way you’d get it from a giant retailer). I’m one of those non-famous writers who has been greatly supported by independents from the very beginning of my career, so I owe them all a debt of gratitude. Really, I’ve been supported by booksellers, including at the two major chains, so thanks to them as well, especially for handselling those books of mine that fell under the radar . . . by which I mean all but the first one."
