Join us with  Indie Bookstore Owner Samm Streiling, owner of Book Dragons Den.

Samm will dive into how authors can connect with independent bookstores and get their books onto indie shelves. Her shop Book Dragons Den  is an independent brick and mortar bookstore that carries mostly fantasy, romance, thriller, young adults and children books.  We also carry some discounted books and she offers the services of rebinding books and sprayed edges.  A majority of their magical treasures (accessories) are handmade by herself.  This store is proudly woman owned.

Our place is where all book dragons readers are welcomed into a world where magic meets love!  Explore our curated selection of fantasy romances, where epic battles meet passionate hearts, to adventure with magic and thriller as well.  We welcome readers of all ages so they can engage into the world of imagination and browse our collection of unforgettable stories, filled with captivating characters and breathtaking settings.

Samm Streiling: grew up in Toronto and have always been an avid reader. When I'm not spending time chasing after my toddler, I'm escaping reality flying in the skies in different worlds and realms on dragons and off on adventures with the fae and with my many book boyfriends. I'm your little elf (no joke, I have the pointy ears) who is always happy to deliver you your next book that's perfect for you or to rebind your books and paint some edges.
