Fall in Love with Autumn Reads

Keuka Roots, in collaboration with author Pamela S. Thibodeaux, is thrilled to announce the launch of our new online Book Store, perfectly timed for your autumn reading list. As a writer, I deeply appreciate the commitment and effort that goes into the writing process—often lasting countless hours, days, weeks, or even years—before a manuscript transforms into a completed book. The characters and ideas that flow from an author’s imagination gently whisper their tales, ready to come alive for readers.


Having served as the marketing director for an independent press, I recognize the challenges small presses and self-published authors face in gaining the visibility they deserve among countless retailers. Unfortunately, many remarkable books are often overlooked by potential readers.


Driven by a love for small press and independent authors, and in partnership with award-winning author Pamela S. Thibodeaux, we launched a project aimed at enhancing the visibility of these talented writers. Featuring a carefully curated selection of no more than twenty titles, The Autumn Reads Bookstore is dedicated to highlighting works and authors that may have previously gone unnoticed.


As summer transitions into autumn, we warmly invite you to sip a cup of coffee (or perhaps a glass of wine, given we are nestled in wine country) and cozy up with a new favorite from Autumn Reads!
