Went to a small crafts festival in Hershey today, which gave us the opportunity to see Sheri Queen. We had met her awhile back at a craft market in Harrisburg where I bought a notebook she had crafted from a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories. I’ve drafted sections of “Man Out of Time” and ideas […]
May was a busy month for the people of the Press (meaning Teresa and I). During the first three weeks, we showcased your works at four events. Usually, we have one event for the month. This month, we should have issued a Peschel Press Tour May 2019 shirt with these dates: May 2: PennLive Local […]
This was ArtFest’s first year under its new name. For several years, it was Art on Chocolate and run by both the Downtown Hershey Association and the Hershey Derry Township Historical Society. Last year, they decided to split up, so now we have two summer festivals. The historical society got ArtFest, and the downtown group […]
I’m behind on the show reports, so I’m going to discuss the latest public appearance and stick the rest in this week, so hang on. It may be a three-post week at the Press! We were told to set up at 7:30 for a 10 a.m. show, so it was a long day at Hershey […]
Bill and Teresa, the pair behind Peschel Press, are going to set up their booth at two Hershey festivals coming up. First, we’ll be at Hershey ArtFest at the Cocoa Beanery, across from the hospital, on Saturday, May 11, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This is the new home for the festival, and with […]
Man, we are so wiped I am not quite sure what were going to say here. We got back from Malice Domestic 2019 last night, and today we’ve been feeling like we were dragging around an anchor. About 8 o’clock Sunday night, we held the Peschel Press business meeting with the family, and then I […]
We’ll be hitting the road for a four-day weekend of appearances, so if you want to come see us and buy a book, and you’re in the Cumberland County or Washington, D.C. areas, here’s your chance! Call it the “Pennlive Local Author Showcase Malice Domestic 2019 Tour”! Thursday, we’ll be at The Patriot-News building in […]
Saturday was a busy busy day for Teresa and I. The fairy tale storytelling event at Cupboard Maker Books is covered in another post, so I’m going to focus on the morning and afternoon, when we were at the Kiwanis Spring Festival at Grace UMC Church in Hummelstown. It was a beautiful but blustery Saturday […]
Yes, work is continuing on the last volume in the 223B Casebook Series: “Sherlock Holmes Jazz Age Parodies and Pastiches II: 1925-1930.” The stories have been assembled and the introductions and footnotes researched and written. The manuscript went off to First Reader (Teresa) and came back battered and stained in red ink. This past week, […]
For us, the local author Festival for Dauphin County library this past weekend started under a cloud. Our 14-year-old cat, Olga, decided we were getting too much sleep. So she challenged us in the middle the night to play “Find the Horking Cat.” Our floors are combination of throw rugs and would. So the challenge […]
