Please help me welcome today’s guest, Sadira Stone…
Thanks so much, Alicia, for hosting me today and introducing me to your readers!
Today is release day for Love, Legacy, and Little Green Aliens: An Over-40 Beach Town Romantic Comedy. This fourth book in the series was so much fun to write!
Book blurb:
HEA vs. a curse, a ghost, and a plague of ETs.
According to the Anagnos family curse, second son Xander is doomed to failure. When he inherits his Uncle Gus’s business in Trappers Cove, Washington, Xander jumps at the chance to prove himself. Of course, he plans to remake the schlocky, alien-themed souvenir shop into something trendier and more upmarket. Who wouldn’t want that?
Hannah Leone, that’s who. Reporter for the Trappers Cove Beacon, Hannah is hell-bent on protecting Souvenir Planet, the beloved icon that draws thousands of tourists to their quirky beach town. The Beacon is struggling to survive, and there’s no way Hannah will let an inconvenient crush stand between her and the biggest story to hit Trappers Cove in ages.
Caught in a battle of wills and sizzling desire, Xander and Hannah discover the bizarre depths of Uncle Gus’s alien obsession. When disaster strikes, they’ll need Xander’s innovation and Hannah’s connections to save Souvenir Planet. But if these hard-headed foes don’t lay down their arms, the town they love will pay the price.
Come back to Trappers Cove for a steamy, laugh-out-loud, rivals-to-lovers romance full of found family, beachy fun, and out-of-this-world mystery.
Love, Legacy, and Little Green Aliens is available from all major online bookstores.

Trappers Cove is a delightful mash-up of my favorite Pacific Northwest beach towns, including Ocean Shores and Long Beach, Washington, Cannon Beach, Oregon, and Half Moon Bay, California. There, you’ll find all the tacky, kitschy beach fun your heart desires—Go-Karts, mini golf, an arcade, a haunted lighthouse (Can’t wait to write that book!), a vintage boutique, a farmers market, the perfect bookstore, all the best beachy snacks, Salty Dog Saloon & Brewery, and Madame Zora’s Psychic Emporium. With her tarot cards and woo-woo wisdom, Zora plays an important part in bringing lovers together in Trappers Cove.
But the star of Main Street is Souvenir Planet, a sprawling, space alien-themed tchotchke emporium inspired by a real-life wonder, Marsh’s Free Museum in Long Beach, WA.
Step through Marsh’s portal, and time slows down. There are so many marvels to explore, from a huge variety of seashells, to every kind of souvenir you can imagine, plus home décor, sweet treats, and…here’s where it gets weird…mangy taxidermized creatures, including a two-headed calf, a similarly blessed piglet, and Jake, the alligator man. There’s also a collection of vintage penny arcade games you can play—the ones that work, anyway—and all kinds of historical curiosities.
A trip to Long Beach isn’t complete without a visit to Marsh’s, and you’d better allocate at least a few hours. This place is absolutely fascinating!
In Love, Legacy, and Little Green Aliens, I added an extra twist to my souvenir shop. The combination of losing his beloved wife and enduring the pandemic knocked owner Gus Anagnos off-kilter, and by the time he expires on his shop floor, leaving Souvenir Planet to his nephew Xander, Gus has blossomed into a full-blown UFO believer, nearly bankrupting himself in the process. So not only must Xander remake the shop into something more mainstream and profitable, he has to pacify hordes of UFO fans and Hannah Leone, the Trappers Cove journalist hellbent on preserving this beloved icon. Add a boisterous ghost and a family curse to the mix, and Xander’s facing a fierce struggle.
