What the New Year has in (Book)Store...

Happy 2025, everyone! Whether the start of your new year started great or not, it doesn't define your entire year. Even though we label every year with a number, it is still just the passage of time. Things that have affected us the previous year can continue to affect us in the new year. While it's a comforting notion that the new year can be a clean slate, it can also be misleading because we can create a clean slate anytime. We can make changes anytime. We do not have to feel like we need to succumb to those labels of time.

Something that I have done with my time recently is introduce my book to a new bookstore. When I started thinking about where else I wanted my book to live, I immediately thought of River Bookshop in Amherstburg, Ontario. Nestled in the heart of the town, this independent bookstore radiates charm and warmth.

The town of Amherstburg itself holds a special place in my heart. Originally from the Windsor-Essex area, I have many fond memories of spending time inside and outside of the town as a child and adult. I continue to create new memories as I visit family and attend neat events.

While I haven't lived in the area in quite some time, it feels like a piece of me now does. You can purchase a copy of my book by visiting the bookstore or ordering it from their website.
