About Bold Soul Books
Where Stories Come Alive
Bold Soul Books was born from the creative partnership between critically-acclaimed author E. Katherine Kottaras and multitalented storyteller B.T. Gottfred, our bookstore grew organically from their collaborative work on "Yoga with Eleonora" for PillowFort TV, where they discovered their shared passion for books that nurture both young minds and adventurous souls.
