What is Bookstore Romance Day? Started eight years ago, it has been a leading force in raising the profile of romance as a genre in bookstores. In those eight years, I've seen romance go from a shelf in the back to front and center.

I'm spending this BRD at the Katonah Reading Room in Katonah, NY with Bell Campbell, Heather Eng, Sonja Marcus, Cynthia St. Aubin and Meredith Schorr, I'll bring a bunch of copies of Molly Molloy and the Angel of Death and of the special author editions of The Last Wolf, as well as swag. If you want anything else, just drop a line.

Can't make it to Katonah? Check out the scores of stores that are participating in the 2026 Bookstore Romance Day. I'm guessing there's one near you.
