Meet the Owner

Hi, I’m the woman behind the wheel of Trigger Warning, the first mobile romance book bus in the Metro of Iowa! What started as a love for romance books turned into a full-blown obsession… and eventually, a mobile bookstore built for readers who want a better way to buy books. Readers who like their stories a little spicy and a lot unapologetic. I created this space for readers who want to escape, explore, and indulge in stories without judgment. Whether you're here for the slow burn or the full-on smut, you're in the right place. So... step into the bus, get a little lost, and don’t worry—I fully support your book choices.
Mission
I created Trigger Warning to revolutionize how readers discover and purchase their favorite books. To eliminate physical barriers of a brick-and-mortar, to provide a judgement free browsing experience, and to give personalized recommendations that the online algorithms can't give you.
I believe everyone deserves a space where they can unwind, escape, and find their way into a really good book—no judgment attached. We could all use a little more love and excitement in our lives! Reading these stories appeals to our human need to feel accepted and loved. Romance books have a way of making us feel seen, confident, and a little bit fearless… and I wanted to bring that experience directly to readers.
​
This book bus is more than just shelves—it’s a vibe, a getaway, and a reminder to make time for yourself. This is a space for people who are done hiding what they love to read. This is their space to be bold, curious, and completely unapologetic about reading really good books.​ Because let’s be honest… life’s too short for boring books.
Vision
At its core, Trigger Warning was created to build connection. The vision is two fold:
​
First, to bring people together through stories—whether that’s at a local pop-up, a private event, or just a spontaneous stop where someone discovers their new favorite book. It’s about creating a welcoming, judgment-free space where readers can share what they love, try something new, and feel completely at ease doing it.
​
Second, Trigger Warning was created to challenge the idea that romance books should be hidden or downplayed. This bus exists to celebrate them—openly, confidently, and without apology.
It’s a space where your reading choices aren’t questioned… they’re encouraged.
