You wrote a book?
Now what?

Wichmann & Co is a hybrid publishing company created for authors who want more than just a finished book. Founded by entrepreneur and author Cecilia Wichmann, we help writers navigate the entire journey from first word to published work and into the hands of real readers without confusion, overwhelm, or guesswork.

We guide authors through editing, publishing, promotion, launches, and book signings, and we make sure their books are available in both physical and eBook formats at major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, and Willa’s Bookstore. You focus on the story. We handle the strategy, structure, and visibility that turns a manuscript into a book that can actually be found, bought, and read.

Welcome to Willa's Bookstore

Willa’s Bookstore is an online bookstore built on something simple and meaningful. Real books, signed by real authors. Every physical book sold through Willa’s is hand signed by the author. No print on demand. No mass production. Just thoughtfully curated stories that pass directly from the author’s hands to yours.

We proudly support indie authors, giving readers the chance to discover powerful stories while knowing exactly who they are supporting. When you shop at Willa’s, you are not just buying a book. You are backing a writer, honoring their work, and choosing something personal in a world of shortcuts.

Signed stories live here. Signed by authors. Supported by readers.

Coming March 21, 2026

She thought she knew her best friend. She was wrong.

When Paula Croft is brutally murdered in her own home, the town searches for a monster. But Maggie, Paula’s closest friend and neighbor, can’t shake the feeling that the truth is far more calculated than anyone wants to believe.

As Maggie begins to pull at loose threads, she uncovers a secret life Paula kept hidden and a shadowy system built on power, silence, and control. The deeper Maggie digs, the clearer it becomes that Paula wasn’t killed out of passion or rage, but because she knew too much.

With the police closing ranks, evidence disappearing, and another woman vanishing without a trace, Maggie and her husband Mark realize they are no longer just looking for answers. They are standing inside something dangerous.

And once you’re seen, there is no going back.

This is not a story about justice. It’s a story about what happens when the wrong people decide someone is a risk.
