Bring on the romance!

The Romance Writers of America New England Chapter has asked The Oasis to provide the books for their annual conference author event on April 30th. We are so excited! This is going to be a big opportunity to get our store recognized, both by the authors and a new region of MA. The author event is open to the public and is being held at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem, MA from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm. This would be a great chance to visit a town with lots of fun shopping, history and us!

Authors include Anne Stuart, Deborah Blake (witchcraft titles), Annette Blair, Hannah Howell, Mia Marlowe, Jessica Andersen and so many more.

See you there!

More like Steig Larson

Have you plowed though all The Girl With the.....books and are still hungry for more Swedish mysteries? I'm currently engrossed in the Martin Beck series by husband-wife team Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo. These detective procedurals were penned in the 1960s. I think there are 9 or 10 in the series and I'm hoping to find them all before I finish the 2 I have.

Henning Mankell is also becoming more available and his titles are being reprinted in mass market. His Kurt Wallander series should fill the gap left by the lack of more Stieg Larson for a while.
