IYKYK. We’ll be hosting a release party for Onyx Storm - but with a twist. Start the day with us and your new copy on January 21 starting at 7:30am. Instead of a midnight release (we’re too tired) we are going to start the day upstairs with a silent bookclub and chat about The Empyrean series. Come join the fun or just sit and enjoy the newest release of this masterful fantasy series. Pre-order your copy and get a free drink special on January 21st (all day).

You don’t have a favorite pencil? Weird. These are ours. Sleek, cheerful, with a perfect lead and the cutest little eraser. Sure to please even the most particular writer.

The Speakeasy is ready for you…and now we offer reusable mugs. So civilized, so cozy, so happy. AND if you’re hanging out for a bit, we’ll offer $1 off a refill if you use our reusable mugs. Call a friend, bring a book, come see what the fuss is all about upstairs in our special seating area.
