Bookstore Romance Day is beyond thrilled to announce that our Ambassador for 2021 is none other than the amazing Kit Rocha!
✨
Also known as Bree and Donna, the duo known as Kit Rocha have been writing together since 2007 and their first book with Tor, Deal with the Devil--the first in the Mercenary Librarians series--was published on July 28, 2020. The second book in the series, The Devil You Know, will be released in August of this year.
✨
With our focus this year being on Romance that crosses over into other genres (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery, etc.), who better to be our Ambassador than an author whose latest series is being published by a Science Fiction and Fantasy publisher like Tor, but is very much a Romance series?
✨
We'll be talking more about (and with) the Kits as the weeks and months get closer to August 21 but, for now, break out the confetti and champagne and toast our 2021 Ambassador!
