As fall grows still crisper, I’ll be signing and selling books outside the always comforting Comfort Zone shop. Thanks again to owner and mensch Steve Mandeville for the very kind invitation and for carrying my books!
Please support Steve and the shop and pick up some holiday gifts—after all, November is the new December! The Comfort Zone stocks a beautifully curated collection of gifts, soaps, lotions, and potions, plus candles, tote bags, books for adults and kids, funky socks and reading specs, note cards, games and toys, and oh, the list goes on!
And yes, Ocean Grove is one of the two seaside towns featured in my book. If you’ve not been there, it’s a rare treat, a trip back in time, with the largest number of Victorian homes of any town on the Eastern seaboard; the massive wooden Great Auditorium, dating from the late 1800s, housing an enormous pipe organ; a tent village where Methodist worshippers gather in summers; a boardwalk to tread and gaze dreamily seaward upon; and Main Avenue, lined with shops and eateries.
NOTE: The book signing is during Ocean Grove’s Fall Fling Arts & Craft Show, and there will be other vendors and activities in the area during the event, so please consider spending more time in Ocean Grove to enjoy the rest of the show. Extra parking is available at the Midtown Community School (1155 Corlies Ave, Neptune Township, NJ). The Neptune Shuttle will run from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM.
