One More Page Books

Mark your calendars for One More Page Book's 8th celebration of <a href="https://bookstoreromanceday.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Bookstore Romance Day</a>! When we say "Love is all around," we mean literally. We'll have different Romance trope displays all around the store for the return of our famous Trope Tour! There may be one or two additions since last year's Bookstore Romance Day... Whatever your taste in tropes is, we don't judge!
The day will be filled with celebration of all things Romance, including a raffle for a basket of hot-ticket items, exclusive goodies, and, of course, books. Spend a few hours browsing the books, sampling some tasty trope-themed mocktails, or stopping in with our friends from <a href="https://www.brightsideblend.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Brightside Blend Coffee</a>, who will be serving up delicious brews from their truck right out front.
This year, we have some special guests! Meet two local Romance authors! Maryland-based author Shanti Edwards will be signing copies of her book <a href="https://onemorepagebooks.com/book/9781971712000" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">LOVE IN THE KEY OF BLACK</a>, and Meg Napier will be signing SECOND WHISPER! Authors will be signing between 2 and 4 PM, so feel free to pop in anytime in that window and meet these esteemed storytellers.
Join us for this day of fun, romance, and community!
About <a href="https://www.authorshantiedwards.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Shanti Edwards</a>: Winner of the Next Bestseller Book Competition in Maryland, Shanti Edwards is a romance author from Prince George’s County, Maryland, crafting stories that celebrate the warmth, rhythm, and depth of Black love. A lawyer by day and a writer at heart, Shanti infuses her short fiction with soulful melodies and vivid emotional moments inspired by her love of music and the places that shape her imagination.
When she’s not spinning R&amp;B playlists or building worlds on the page, Shanti enjoys salsa dancing, having deep discussions about reality TV dating shows, and going to the concerts of her favorite artists.
She currently lives in the Washington, D.C. area, where she’s busy writing her next celebration of love, community, and connection.
About <a href="https://www.megnapier.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Meg Napier</a>: Meg Napier began dreaming about romance sometime in second grade when she accepted her first proposal. It came with a tiny package of candy, and her addiction to love and sweets was cemented in one fell swoop. Sadly, she lost touch with her first beau, but the idea of life being better when hearts are entwined stuck with her. By the start of high school she had her pen name picked out and a small part of herself saw her books lined up next to those of her favorite authors. Fortunately? Unfortunately? Other parts of herself saw her following society’s encouragement to pursue “important” work. “Important” work won out, followed by a busy and peripatetic life with her family.
Through it all, though, Meg remained convinced that without love, everything else is meaningless. She has been blessed throughout her life to find love everywhere: in supportive parents and siblings, magnificent teachers, good friends, crazy pets, caring co-workers, beloved children, and a wonderful husband. Like probably everyone on this planet, she has known heartbreak, failure, betrayal, and loss, but Mr. Roger’s optimism always seems to prove more durable than pain. Love can be found anywhere, anytime; we just have to keep our eyes and our hearts open.
The titles of Meg’s books and stories all contain the word “second” because most things worth fighting for require more than we can possibly imagine during chapter one.

The National Leverage Lab 2026, presented by The Fair Path Project, brings a full day of practical strategy on workplace accountability to Washington, DC on Friday, August 28. The summit runs in person at the Friends Meeting of Washington near Dupont Circle, with a virtual option for those joining from afar.
Headlining the Lab is Gretchen Carlson, the former broadcast journalist portrayed by Nicole Kidman in the 2019 film Bombshell. She takes the keynote stage alongside Julie Roginsky, her co-founder at Lift Our Voices, the nonprofit whose advocacy helped end forced arbitration of sexual assault and harassment claims under federal law. Together they have reshaped the national conversation on how workers can speak up without being silenced.
Beyond the keynote, attendees choose from three concurrent tracks built for employees, HR professionals, and attorneys, with continuing education credits available (CLE, HRCI, and SHRM). Expect real tools, real cases, and a room full of people committed to fairer workplaces.
