After months of prayer, seeking the Lord’s direction, and having some really difficult conversations, I’ve made the decision to close The Dusty Pages Bookshop.

​

When I opened Dusty Pages, I poured everything I had into it. I built this dream while working multiple jobs, staying up late packing orders, designing products, traveling to events, answering messages, and doing everything I could to create a place that felt like home for book lovers. It was never just about selling books—it was about building a community around stories we all love.

Because of this little bookstore, I’ve met people I never would have met otherwise. I’ve hugged so many of you at signings and events, celebrated new releases together, watched friendships form through a shared love of reading, and experienced opportunities I never could have imagined when I packed that very first order.

​

Every order, every comment, every share, every recommendation, every event you attended, and every time you chose to shop small instead of somewhere else helped keep this dream alive. I will never be able to thank you enough for believing in me and in Dusty Pages.

​

As much as I wanted this chapter to continue, I’ve realized that obedience sometimes means letting go of something you deeply love. I don’t believe this is the end of the story—I believe it’s the end of one chapter so another can begin.

​

The Lord has been stirring something different in my heart for a while now. While I don’t have all the answers yet, I know He’s calling me into a new season. As difficult as it is to close the doors on a dream that has meant so much to me, I have peace knowing that His plans are always better than my own.

​

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing details about our final closing - including a sale and important dates.

My hope is that we can celebrate everything Dusty Pages has been and give this little bookstore the goodbye it deserves.

​

To everyone who has been here from the beginning—or even if you just found us recently—thank you. Thank you for believing in a small business, for trusting me with your fictional cowboys, and for being part of something I’ll always cherish.

​

Dusty Pages may be closing, but this isn’t the end of my story. I truly believe God is writing a new chapter, and when the time is right, I can’t wait to share it with you.

Thank you for being part of this dream. It has been one of the greatest blessings of my life.
