Wolfproof now available on Amazon, Barnes&Noble and at your local bookstore

October 9th 2006 in News

Readers often ask me where the best place to order Wolfproof is. It all depends on what you mean by best. Certainly, it is most convenient to order on-line, and you can’t beat the price. However, I am committed to supporting independent bookstores. It is a wonderful thing to be able to walk into a store with a knowledgeable staff who love to read and can recommend books you might love as well. In this mega-chain world, the small independent businessman is often overlooked and in doing so we change our society. There is great value in community based businesses where retailers know you by name, remember your preferences, and care deeply about the community/ neighborhood they serve. I also love big bookstores with cozy chairs and lattes on the side. Yes, I shop at Barnes & Noble and Borders too. In fact, one of the first things I do in a town is check out the local bookstores and libraries.

So, the answer is that there is not just one “best place” to buy Wolfproof. You can even order it through this website. The important thing is that you read, buy books and continue to believe as Karen Cushman says, “words can nudge the world.”

I believe there is also another reason readers love fantasy. G.K. Chesterton says,” Fairy tales [...]
