We were honored last night to have Harlan Coben come and sign his new book, Caught, for us.  In the four months I’ve been at Lemuria I’ve never witnessed an event quite like this one.  Dotcom was packed!!   It was one of those happy occasions where everybody walks away feeling great and warm about the [...]
