I’m opening a bookstore!

I’ve always dreamed of running my own bookstore, surrounded by the things that bring me joy, working on something I can be proud to call mine.

Enchanted Books isn’t just any bookstore either. It’s dedicated to independent fiction authors who often struggle to get their work into physical stores. Being in New Mexico, we’ll also be able to focus on local writers. All book lovers are welcome!

I’m currently designing the interior and plan to open in July. If you’re in or passing through Rio Rancho, I’d love to meet you and chat about books. The Block has some amazing food, music, and wonderful retailers to visit; it’s a whole experience.

Travel to the Land of Enchantment and pick up some Enchanted Books!

My indie bookshop is now open! I’m amazed by the level of support from the local New Mexico community and across platforms. I hope to serve writers and readers with this bookshop, a project that’s been close to my heart for years now. I’m grateful for this opportunity, and thankful for friends and family helping me get going. I couldn’t do it without you. Welcome to Enchanted Books!

[Winston Malone @writerofhavek]

Got the signs installed. It’s coming together and becoming more real each day. Can’t wait to open the doors of this indie bookshop this month!

Just concluded my first author event at a local bookstore. I met a lot of fiction lovers, and sold some books. So grateful to Page 1 Books for hosting me. Had a blast talking to people about these stories. Looking forward to doing it more often.

[Winston Malone @writerofhavek]

Preparing for my first appearance at Page 1 Books in NM on Saturday June 7 from 12-5. If you’re able, come on out! I’d love to meet you. I’m so thankful for independent bookstores and their willingness to provide spaces for indie authors and publishers. Indies supporting indies is what it’s all about!

[Winston Malone @writerofhavek]

@LordGrimdark Had a blast! Great conversation and introduction to your new book. Thanks for coming out to ABQ!

[Winston Malone @writerofhavek]

@vincentfallow Preordered. Cant wait!

[Winston Malone @writerofhavek]

@dgjones81 That sounds awesome! Congrats on the upcoming book launch. Medieval fiction is popping right now. Looking forward to reading your work!

Welcome to the ISI Forge. Please introduce yourself and what you’re working on.

[Winston Malone @writerofhavek]

@BiblioTheory Just started reading this! Enjoying it so far.

[Winston Malone @writerofhavek]

I hired an artist to design a logo for ISI. What do you think?

[Winston Malone @writerofhavek]

@livfreelivrich @SWHannahAuthor Thank you! Hope you enjoy it.

[Steven William Hannah @SWHannahAuthor]

I am once more sniffing around for indie and selfpub books to check out.

This time it's anthologies! Post your links and if iv already got it on my list il tell you 😁 otherwise il read the sample and if I like it, il add it.

Any genre goes! No AI pls

[Winston Malone @writerofhavek]

Does anyone want to be our first sale of 2025? This anthology features speculative fiction from 24 indie authors. It's got a little something for everyone, perfect for road trips, plane rides, or portal jumping! You'd be supporting a really small press.

@TonyMCaro I see. Good idea. Are you going to go through Amazon KDP? It seems to be the way to go for collections these days.

[Winston Malone @writerofhavek]

@AriasChelMeli Of course! Let me know if you have any other questions. I'd be happy to assist where I can.

[Winston Malone @writerofhavek]

@spooky_actual I'm always impressed with hard sci-fi writers. I've just started getting into Heinlein, Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and others. Man, impressive stuff. I also have the Expanse series on my TBR. I hope your time gets freed up soon! Reach out if you need a second pair of eyes on it.
