Wonderful experience. The author was great with our 9 year old son. He enjoyed the jump scares while browsing the store.

So incredibly impressed by the owners! I had been a huge fan of the books when I was a kid and took my nephew to pick some up. The author was in house and was SO NICE to my nephew. He engaged with him and made him feel special and seen. I would highly recommend anyone stop in, I even got an adult novel for myself!
