Bookstore Cats

Huck & Finn, the cats at From My Shelf Books & Gifts, are famous. Just ask them. Those rascally cats are about to be even more famous. They are going to be in a book called Bookstore Cats.

The book is about, you guessed it, Bookstore Cats. The writer, Brandon Schultz, contacted the store in January of 2017. He had heard about our bookstore cat, Hobo, and wanted to include him in the upcoming book.

Hobo was the bookstore cat at From My Shelf Books for almost eight years. Hobo was known across the United States, and even overseas. He was an ambassador, children's author and even received his own obituary.

Hobo has crossed the rainbow bridge, but Huck & Finn were gracious enough to grace the pages of the upcoming book which will be published in September of 2017. You can pre-order the book now at From My Shelf Books and Huck & Finn will be happy to autograph it.

Brandon Schultz loves cats, bookstores, and especially bookstores run by cats. Among other things he is a book publisher, travel writer and ice cream enthusiast. This is his fourth book, and he lives in Brooklyn, New York, with a cat named Lucy.

Author Event with Jessica Eppley

From My Shelf Books & Gifts will host a free author event on Saturday July 1st from 11AM to 2PM. Authr Jessica Eppley will be signing her four book series, The Book of Siavon at From My Shelf Books 7 East Ave in Wellsboro PA.

In the first book, The Ruby Child, a shadow has fallen over the wondrous magical world of Aryth. Evil has enveloped the holy cities, and all hope rests on an ancient prophecy that only a child born with ruby eyes can fulfill.

Raised by a warrior in the outskirts of Nodens, a spirited teenage girl named Keavy trains to battle Crocotta, a deadly shape-shifter with the power to control the wild beasts terrorizing her once peaceful homeland.

With the aid of an old catfolken scientist, a clumsy wood faun, and an arrogant young blacksmith, Keavy decides to leave behind the carefree days of her youth to embark on a perilous journey - a quest to restore peace and happiness to Aryth - a destiny only she can fulfill.

Come meet and talk with Jessica Eppley and talk with the author about her writing and the publishing process, as well as get a signed, personalized copy.

Book Giveaway for Operation Ragnarok

Win an autographed copy of Operation Ragnarok by author Kevin Coolidge



“We are all just killing time, until time eventually kills us. We go through life knowing death is waiting, but not knowing what comes next. I don't have to wonder anymore, because I died.”

Operation Ragnarok is a fantastical adventure with comedic elements about a group of gamers going through a mid-life crisis, instead of the little red corvette, they decide to steal a Viking longship from a museum and release an ancient evil. It's a story of friendship, sacrifice, and unleashing Hel on Earth...

Operation Ragnarok, think Night at the Museum meets The Big Bang Theory with a touch of Stand by Me vibe. Great for those who love mythology, gaming, and geek culture, but not needed to enjoy this fast-paced tale. If you've ever rolled the dice, you need this book.

Operation Ragnarok is available for just $7.99 in print version from www.wellsborobookstore.com, or wherever books are sold, as well as an ebook on Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Apple products

Book Giveaway for the Totally Ninja Raccoons Meet Bigfoot!

The book that started it all, "The Totally Ninja Raccoons Meet Bigfoot" is now Story Monster Approved! It's the first book in the Totally Ninja Raccoon series, and you can win a FREE, autographed copy.

In "The Totally Ninja Raccoons meet Bigfoot", our protagonists discover they are not meant to be ordinary bandits, but rather carry the potential to be something extraordinary, ninjas.

In this origin story, the Ninja Raccoons begin their ninja training, and meet their first potential employer--Gypsy the cat. Gypsy sends the Raccoons on their first mission, to capture the elusive Bigfoot.

Things aren't what they seem to be. Bigfoot isn't the monstrous beast, as he's been portrayed. Gypsy isn't the benign employer. Cats want to take over the world.

The Totally Ninja Raccoons learn that sometimes you have to choose your own path if you want to choose your destination.

Cats are trying to take over the world. Monsters are real, and Chinese food really will make you hungry soon after you eat it. It's up to The Totally Ninja Raccoons to stop it.
