LAT's Gold jumps to Washington Post
Annual issue is out this week
At Saturday's launch party for Laura Levine's 10th Jaine Austen mystery, Pampered to Death, the book sales were handled by the San Diego store Mysterious Galaxy. They brought some news. A second store is opening this summer on Artesia Boulevard in Redondo Beach. The new place will have 4,000 square feet in a space shared with a coffee house and cafe. It's being built out now — follow progress on their blog — with soft opening coming soon followed by a grand opening in October.
