Loved visiting local indie bookstore, TBR Books, in Claremont, CA. Located in the back corner of a small retail plaza, it’s lovely—cozy, welcoming, and atmospheric. They’ve a focus on romance, but carry all fiction genres.

Been reading and writing and diving into a lot of Weird West works for the past year, which I’m lovin’. Read VAMPIRES OF EL NORTE by Isabel Cañas, which was good, interesting to see how she handled the genre (though more of Historical Romance).
