Just in time to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day, the globally beloved Powell’s Books brick-and-mortar-words-on-real-paper-palace in Portland announced it will no longer port its books over to gazillion-pound-clickgorilla Amazon. Many authors, of course, need that clickgorilla to keep afloat, but ya gotta admire Powell’s cajones for logging off the gravy-stream.
And (synchronicity!) when I dropped by Powell’s online, I was greeted by a friendly review of my first Zenn Scarlett novel. “The story is full of intriguing alien species, and their ailments. Add to that, some cool vet tech, and you have a bio nerd fest in the making. I also enjoyed the mystery of the various ‘accidents’ involving the beasties. townies push hard from every direction to shut down the Cloister, not renew their lease, and use the land for agricultural purposes. Indeed, Christian Schoon is an author to keep an eye on…” Awwww. Isn’t that kind?
So, thanks Powell’s, best of luck and keep on keepin’ on.
