Support your local businesses

I discovered IndieBound and feel a little embarrassed it took me so long. Did you know there's an easy way to search and find local Indie bookstores near you? It's an awesome way to support local businesses and they support Indie authors too.

What's the coolest part? Any Indie bookstore can order hardcover or paperback of your favorite authors books. And you don't have to pay for shipping. So no matter where in the US you are, you can get a print copy of your favorite author and support your local business.

Wait? What?!

You heard me right. You can go into any local Indie bookstore and order most print books from them (including mine)!

So, go ahead and ask your local bookstore to carry Luminata and share the story with others.

Why shop Indie?
When you shop at an independently owned business, your entire community benefits:

The Economy

Spend $100 at a local-owned business and $52 of that stays in your community.

Spend $50 at a national chain and keep $6.50 in the local community.

Spend $50 online with a remote vendor with no sales tax collected and keep not one penny in your local community.

Local businesses create higher-paying jobs for our neighbors.

More of your taxes are reinvested in your community--where they belong.

The Environment

Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint.

Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community.

The Community

Local retailers are your friends and neighbors—support them and they’ll support you.

Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains.

More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.

Now is the time to stand up and join your fellow individuals in the IndieBound mission supporting local businesses and celebrating independents.

Through IndieBound I found Orinda Books in Orinda, California and they graciously accepted Luminata to be placed on their shelves. These are all signed copies and I will definitely be replenishing them as needed. I hope you get a chance to check out this wonderful independent bookstore. The staff were super nice to me and I can see why locals love them.
