I’ve been thinking a lot about new beginnings lately and how it often seems like we have to let go or have something end to start anew. But does anything ever really end? Or does it just transform? #newoffice #psychotherapy #personalessay #indiebookstores

Australian children's book author, Rebecca J. Chaney, leaning over a bench in a bookstore signing copies of her middle grade science fantasy adventure, Stu and the Sketchy Time Stops.
Topping up the dwindling supply of my middle grade science fantasy adventure, Stu and the Sketchy Time Stops, at Bookface Erina with my own dwindling supply. Time for me to reorder my own stock!

This weekend, I did a mini tour of the #indiebookstores of Chicago. Visited City Lit Books, The Book Cellar, and After-Words. I'm so impressed by all of the work their respective staffs are doing to preserve literacy and freedom of speech.

Had so much yesterday on my HTX Book Crawl bus organized by @katybudgetbooks. I had no idea there were so many unique bookstores, and we only made it to a few of them. No matter where you are, check out your local indie bookstore and show them some love. #indiebookstores #indieauthor #htxbookcrawl

Love song by Elle Kennedy and In Her Own League by Liz Tomforde on a pink floral sheet
The title page of both books, each handing by their authors
The sprayed edges of each book: in her own league has an orange to red sky grading Love song has a pink and yellow backdrop with music notes on it
Indie exclusive art for both books On the right, a man in a baseball jersey and a woman in a business suit in front of a skyline On the left, a girl in a pink top and jean shorts being held by a boy wearing all black
my favorite thing is an indie preorder campaign and both of these beauties came in last week 🤩🤩
