Well, today I appeared at a SinC event with 18 authors (one couldn't make it) at the Howard County Public Library, East Columbia Branch.
And guess who was selling books? That's right. An indie bookseller, Mystery Loves Company.
Now, Mystery Loves Company used to be located in Baltimore (the city) in the Fells Point section -- you've heard of it, right?
Well, times changed and the store decided
So, now it's located here.
Pretty awesome, huh?
PS: The store's blog is called Mystery Salon.
UPDATE: Guess what? I got a comment from Kathy Harig, one of the owners of Mystery Loves Company. She wants to
And the real reason is that they decided to move the store to Oxford when they took up residence on the Eastern Shore in 2005 and it became too difficult to keep two stores open. And that's the real reason, okay? And Kathy doesn't want to kill me at all. :)
And the store in Oxford is doing very well and has gotten great support. Awesome!

Hi Debbi. As you may/may not know we decided to move to Oxford when my husband and I moved to the Eastern Shore in 2005 and it became too difficult to keep two stores open. Our store in Oxford is doing very well and has gotten great support. We cross the bridge monthly to support Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America and Brandeis Women's groups by selling books at their events. We also are the main dealer @ Malice Domestic. We hold monthly events at the store and in other sites around the state. I also have a weekly radio show and of course I continue to do mail order and put out a monthly newsletter/catalog. Good luck with your books and ebooks. Thanks for your support.
Hey Kathy,
Thanks for leaving your comment. I didn't know your reason for moving, actually. And I was being more than a little tongue-in-cheek. :)
I hope to write more posts about indie bookstores, since having a presence online is so important these days. And every little bit helps.
I'll do a short update to reflect the actual reasons you moved.
Take care,
Debbi
