Middle Ground Books: After Hours

Welcome to Middle Ground Books: After Hours. We’re Megan, Debra, and Lance from Middle Ground Books in Emporia, Kansas.


After a long day at the bookstore, this is where we sit down, grab a few drinks, and talk about whatever happens to be on our minds. Sometimes that means books, authors, and what we’re reading. Other times it takes us into movies, fandom, life, the shop, and whatever else comes up along the way.


We try to keep things family friendly, depending on how the drinks are treating us.


Mostly, After Hours is just a chance for us to unwind, laugh, share what we’ve been thinking about, and spend a little more time with the community around Middle Ground Books.


New chapters every Thursday

.

Have something you think we should talk about? Stop by the shop, say hi, and let us know what’s on your mind. You never know what might make its way into an episode.


And as always, we’ll meet you in the middle.

Lance Rundus

Hey there, I’m Lance! I’ve acquired an encyclopedia’s worth of experiences over the years, and nonfiction books are my cup of tea. If you’ve got an esoteric, weird, or off-the-wall interest, don’t be surprised if I’ve already heard of it or dabbled in it myself — and don’t be too shocked when I can recommend a book about it, too.

Megan Love

Hi, I’m Megan! I’ve been a professional bookworm for over a decade, or in layman’s terms a librarian. These days I’m just as enthusiastic about selling books as I am about reading them. I have a genuine passion for helping fellow book lovers discover a book that radiates with their interests and personalities.

Debra Rundus

Hello, I’m Debra. By day I’m a preschool teacher, and by night I’m surrounded by storybooks, coffee mugs, and laughter. I have a heart for young families and love helping parents find books that bring them closer together. Those moments when little ones crawl into your lap, giggle, and get lost in a story are the ones I hope every family makes time for. I’m always happy to help you find the perfect story to share at home.
