| Bree Bridges and Donna Herren, aka Kit Rocha | |
Kit Rocha, the pseudonym for bestselling writers Bree Bridges and Donna Herren, has been named Bookstore Romance Day 2021 ambassador. Their most recent book, Deal with the Devil, was published by Tor last July; and its follow-up, The Devil You Know, will be released in August.
Rocha was selected "because their books are a strong representation of the focus of this year's celebrations, which will be on books that cross boundaries between genres--romance, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, thriller, and more," organizers said. Rocha is promoting Bookstore Romance Day in the months leading up to the August 21 celebration, and will be featured in a special spotlight panel during the day's virtual events.
"I couldn't be more excited to have Kit Rocha as this year's Ambassador," said Billie Bloebaum, Bookstore Romance Day's founder. "Deal with the Devil is already an indie bookstore favorite and a great starting place for stores who want to delve into romance but are uncertain about the books traditionally thought to comprise the genre. And Kit Rocha has a huge following among romance readers and we hope having the Kits as Ambassador will raise awareness in those readers of the romance-friendly independent bookstores out there."
