Sorry about that, folks, but we just realized we hadn’t applied! Yes, publishers can be idiots. We’ll still attend, but as Christmas shoppers, not as vendors. (Which is not a bad thing, because we were planning on making this our last appearance at the show.) Love to you all, and I hope you aren’t too […]
The Dark and Stormy Book Club interviews Teresa for their podcast! Both of us really, but me mostly because I wrote “Agatha Christie, She Watched” and Bill turned my reviews into the fabulous book. So when we do a podcast interview, I do most of the talking and Bill fills in the gaps. If you […]
Well, this will be fun. Peschel Press will be at Hershey Artfest 2023 tomorrow (Sat., May 12). We just came back from the Cocoa Beanery where we set up our tent, next to the information booth on the edge of the field. The event is sponsored by the Hershey-Derry Twp. Historical Society, UMPC, and PennState […]
Speaking of podcasts (all right, we weren’t, but roll with me), but we had forgotten to announces that Bill speaks with Gabby Allan (aka Misty Simon) on her podcast! Give it a listen!
This week has been very busy, even for me. Career Indie Author I’ve revised the first edition that was published last month. Yes, it’s a bit early, but it’s part of the process that arose while working on the ebook version of all my books. I find mistakes or decide on a better way to […]
We’re closing in on the end of year seven at Peschel Press. While the concern had been operating since May 2012, when “Whose Body?” appeared, it became a full-time business when I punched out of my newspaper job on Jan. 1, 2013. In between then and now, Beloved Wife and I have published 20 books […]
It is my sad duty to report that Peschel Press office manager Olga di Poggoity died last week at 15 years, 8 months. Olga arrived with our primary office kitty, Ivan the Terrible, as a six-week-old kittens when our crazy redheaded cat lady neighbor moved out, leaving them behind along with unpaid rent and an […]
We’re always looking for new places to sell our books, so on Saturday we took a scouting trip to Clipper Stadium in Lancaster, where a Makers Market was being held. The product of Creatively Lancaster, Makers Market is held several times a year in the Lancaster area. Saturday’s event brought together about 25 vendors, who […]
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, […]
Teresa will be giving a talk at the Mechanicsburg Mystery Bookshop tonight about “Suburban Stockade” (now called “Fed, Safe, and Sheltered”) It’ll be her first, and for the last few days she’s been working on what she wants to say. Naturally, she asks me, her husband, for advice, which I’m naturally eager to do. “Is […]
