As many of you know, we closed our "brick and mortar" presence in Westwood with a farewell party on January 31, 2011. We thank the many authors who dropped in to join us (including Lisa Lutz and Robert Crais, who flew in), and the 200 or so customers who spent a few hours. We also loved hearing from our friends throughout the country--and from many in other parts of the world.
During the course of the evening, we frequently were asked "What's next?" We expressed some thoughts about what we hoped, but have been silent since then . . . until now.
We are hoping to re-launch our online presence. For the last couple of months, a fair number of our books have been available online through, dare we say it, Amazon. However, we are planning to make our collectibles available online (many are now) through our own website, and to feature limited editions. We also are investigating our foray into the world of eBooks. And, we plan to regularly update our website and resume our newsletter in electronic form.
We also are considering relaunching our monthly book clubs . . . and hosting special events and author appearances in our current location.
So, stay tuned. We plan to have a June newsletter, and recommendations.
The Mystery Bookstore is not yet just a memory, and we hope to hear from you. |
