Hey I'm Trina, the face and brains behind Moonlit chapters, the UK's first Indie only Romance bookstore and the South West's only romance bookstore.
I am an SEN mum to two feral children who have apparently inherited my lack of volume control, and I also have a lovely case of ADHD.
Since launching Moonlit Chapters, I've met some of the most incredible authors and readers, many of whom i now call friends.
Moonlit Chapters was born out of my love for Indie Romance. The more I read the more I fell in love and the more I realised just how hard it was to actually find Indie Romance books
Buying through Amazon was soul destroying. Books arrived damaged, poorly packaged with no care or respect for the stories inside. Direct-from-author options were limited and if you were lucky enough to stumble across an Indie in the wild, then they cost you a kidney.
So i thought to myself, during a midnight feed while reading yet another questionable monster romance is this something I could do? could I make Indie romances easier to find? Turns out the answer was yes I could and the response from you has been overwhelming.
Moonlit Chapters is more than just a bookshop, its a community (or cult). Its a safe space for readers to read whatever they like without judgement. Its a place where we can devour series after series and slide into each other's DM's with the most unhinged play by play of our latest read.
Everything on the shelves is specially curated by me. From the indie books to the Book of the Month picks and seasonal boxes. I built Moonlit Chapters for the romance readers.
At its heart, Moonlit chapters exists because something was missing within the reading space. And now, I get to shout about all the amazing authors with readers who feel the exact same way.
