About the Owners

Owned and operated by local creatives Jeremy and Autumn Spencer, Tome Books and Novelteas grew from a shared passion. Storytelling and community stood at the heart of that dream. Jeremy writes psychological thrillers and dark fantasy.

Autumn is a lifelong reader with a love of tea and hospitality. Both envisioned a space offering more than books on shelves. The result became a welcoming haven. Stories come alive, friendships flourish, and the aroma of steeping tea fills the air.
