We will discus this book at noon, please use the side entrance as the front door will remained locked until our business hours open at 1 PM. Feel free to bring your lunch or some snacks to share.

The mountains of West Virginia have been home to humans for thousands of years. But something far older, and evil, has been there much longer.
Waiting.
Dennis Tierney, mediocre dentist and legendary (in his own mind) ladies’ man, thought an exploration of Warner, the local abandoned mining town, would liven up his monotonous days. So what if there were warnings and strange stories about it?
He really should have listened.
Francine Hopper, former Army Lieutenant, and now small-town chief of police, had seen a lot of pain and suffering over the years. But nothing could have prepared her to face what was once again awake in Warner – and the monster Dennis Tierney had become.

Dreadful Discussions – Maeve Fly
2025-03-29 12:00 - 14:00 | The ABL, 14135 7th St., Dade City, FL, 33525, United States
By day, Maeve Fly works at the happiest place in the world as every child’s favorite ice princess.
By the neon night glow of the Sunset Strip, Maeve haunts the dive bars with a drink in one hand and a book in the other, imitating her misanthropic literary heroes.
But when Gideon Green – her best friend’s brother – moves to town, he awakens something dangerous within her, and the world she knows suddenly shifts beneath her feet.
Untethered, Maeve ditches her discontented act and tries on a new persona. A bolder, bloodier one, inspired by the pages of American Psycho. Step aside Patrick Bateman, it’s Maeve’s turn with the knife.

Literature Starts With a C - Knot My Sin
2025-04-08 18:00 - 19:00 | The ABL, 14135 7th St., Dade City, FL, 33525, United States
Our second book will be with local author Jenn Bullard, again. We had such an amazing conversation with her and are trying to expand Andria’s genre bubble.

I’ve been captive for longer than I can remember. My handler bought me from my parents when I presented at 10 years old because he likes his girls young and innocent. Yes, it’s just as bad as it sounds.
Now my life is pain and misery, but it’s routine so it’s manageable until my handler announces he’s selling me at Auction. The hormone suppressants aren’t working anymore, and I’m simply too old for him now. I’m shaking in my skin as I wait my turn to walk across the stage when I smell the most delicious scent.
Why is Fate such an evil witch? Somewhere in the crowd of lewd, loud screaming men and women is my scent match.
My past is Knot my Sin, but I don’t know what the future has in store for me.
This is a darker story, filled with groveling. Please be sure to read the CW for more information.

Literature Starts With a C - Ice Planet Barbarians
2025-04-22 19:00 - 21:00 | The ABL, 14135 7th St., Dade City, FL, 33525, United States
Fall in love with the out-of-this-world romance between Georgie Carruthers, a human woman, and Vektal, an alien from another planet, in this expanded edition with bonus materials and an exclusive epilogue—in print only!
You’d think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you’d be wrong. Because now the aliens are having ship trouble, and they’ve left their cargo of human women—including me—on an ice planet.
We’re not equipped for life in this desolate winter wasteland. Since I’m the unofficial leader, I head out into the snow to look for help.
I find help all right. A big blue horned alien introduces himself in a rather . . . startling way. Vektal says that I’m his mate, his chosen female—and that the reason his chest is purring is because of my presence. He’ll help me and my people survive, but this poses a new problem.
If Vektal helps us survive, I’m not sure he’s going to want to let me go.
