While you are thinking of holiday shopping, remember your independent bookstores. Their sales are down 40% although people are buying books in record numbers (mostly through Amazon). This operation, Bookshop. org, is trying to help. The profits go to the bookstore. Try them. Of course, my books are there, too, but go ahead and search for others. Happy shopping!

Next week, another sea story here. Come on back! .

There are two special events close to the heroes of my novels.
Joe Lockhart is a translator, and 30 September is National Translation Day, a celebration promoted by UNESCO.
Emily and Hilda — and her friends and family — ride bicycles, and several types of bicycles appear in the book. The League of American Bicyclists celebrate the National Bicycle Challenge throughout the month of September.
In honor of these events, Lockhart and Emily & Hilda will be on sale for a full month. Pricing varies by retailer, with Smashwords offering the best deal on eBooks (USD 1,25 – Code LJ88L)) and Amazon on the print versions (price varies by location).
You may support your local indie bookstore by ordering through bookshop.org, which is also discounted.
Enjoy!
