A Week of Western Grit and Big Debut Energy

Happy Monday friends. Willa is wiggling with excitement this week, because we have some big news on the shelves.

First, we are thrilled to announce that John Layne’s westerns are riding into the store by the end of this week. Get ready for Gunslinger, Red River Reunion, and Return to Canyon Creek. John Layne is an International Multi Award Winning Author, Screenwriter, and Actor. He is also a retired police detective and a man with more degrees than Willa has bookworm snacks, including a Master’s Degree in Management.

He began his writing journey in the sports world, publishing articles for national magazines and major online outlets. His inspiration comes from legends like Louis L’Amour, Zane Grey, Robert B. Parker, and C. J. Box. That passion has led to four incredible novels that blend classic western grit and sharp crime mystery flare. His books will be available here soon, signed of course, and ready to ship.

Now for more excitement. Saturday November 22 is launch day for The Ticket by Cecilia Wichmann. If you preordered and chose shipping, all books will be mailed out on Thursday. Keep an eye on your email for your tracking number.

You may have noticed our newest feature on social media. Willa’s Author Wiggle. Five fun questions that let you meet our authors in a relaxed, real way. We love hearing their voices and personalities shine through.

And if you are an author yourself and feel like this little bookstore is doing something a bit different, reach out. We would love to chat. Send us a message on social media or email us at hello@willasbookstore.com and we will tell you all about joining the Willa family.

Have a wonderful week and happy reading.
