Why Shop at Natalie Dean Books?

Welcome to my shop! You might be wondering why you should shop here instead of the big retailers you’re comfortable with, like Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Here are some great reasons to make Natalie Dean Books your go-to destination for heartwarming romances:
 
Reason #1: Support Small Businesses
When you shop here, you’re directly supporting me, an independent author, and my small business. Every purchase helps fund the creation of new books and formats, and ensures your favorite stories keep coming. You’re also supporting the idea of small businesses thriving in a world of big-box retailers.
 
Reason #2: Get a More Personal Experience
From signed copies to special editions and exclusive content, shopping here is a personalized experience you won’t find anywhere else. I take pride in creating book boxes that include signed copies, author swag, and fun goodies—all packaged with love and care—by me and my family.
 
Reason #3: Exclusive Deals and Discounts
By buying directly from me, you can take advantage of better deals and exclusive discounts that aren’t available elsewhere. 
 
Reason #4: Keep Stories Coming
For authors, relying on big retailers comes with risks—authors have faced sudden account closures and unpaid royalties, without being given much notice or reason.

That's enough to scare me into opening my own online store. If Amazon were to terminate my author account, it would be like having a rug snatched out from under me, and I'd have to find another way to support me and my son, fast! Shopping directly from Natalie Dean Books helps me maintain independence by not having all my eggs in one ‘retailer basket’ and ensures your favorite stories continue to be written.
 
Reason #5: A Thoughtful Alternative to Big Retailers
While Amazon has been wonderful for my author career and will always have a place in my publishing journey, cutting out the middleman means more of your purchase goes toward supporting the books you love. It also means I can give out all the discount codes I want, which you will be getting as rewards for being a customer of Natalie Dean Books. Plus, I can have sales when I want, on my terms. It’s a win-win for both of us!
 
Thank you for choosing to support independent authors and small businesses. Your purchase means the world to me and helps keep these sweet, heartfelt stories alive.
