  2. Network with authors and our bookselling staff.
  3. Discover the curated selection of books and gifts, eco-roasted coffee, breakfast & lunch options, and welcoming "work from home" environment at Elk Grove's only bookstore.
  4. Sign up to cohost a future Writing Demystified discussion as a way to support your author community and build your network.

About our cohosts

Sara Matsui-Colby: Books and stories have always been my first love. As a child, you could find my nose buried in at least five on any given day, and libraries were like a second home to me. I was born in Irvine, California, but in the 5th grade, my family moved to Milton, Massachusetts. My new school had acting as part of the curriculum, and that's where I
found my second love and lifelong career. Narrating audiobooks is a marriage of my two
passions. My favorite genres to narrate are fantasy andscience fiction, but I also enjoy humorous stories,quirky rom-coms, thrillers, and good cozy mysteries.Quirky protagonists, misunderstood misfits, andunderdog outcasts always have a home in my heart.


Jeff Adams is an author of queer romance and queer young adult stories. He’s also a digital accessibility expert who works with authors and creatives to help them understand how to create accessible content on social media, emails, and websites.
