Now that we’ve been doing public appearances, we’ve fallen into a pattern. Summer’s the high time with frequent weekend events. There’s surprise events, like signings at Cupboard Maker Books. We slow down a little in the fall, and come to a halt at Small Business Saturday after Thanksgiving. After that, there’s no events at all. […]
Hey folks. Isn’t this amazing? An actual event post delivered on time! Peschel press is right in the middle of the last two signing events of 2019, so I’ll tell you about what we did Saturday and what will be doing next Saturday. We were at Cupboard Maker Books in Enola for two hours signing, […]
(Not to be confused with “Dog Day Afternoon,” which is an old movie. Ask your grandparents about it.) Sunday, Deb Beamer opened the doors of Mechanicsburg Mystery for an event that introduced attendees to seven authors, including our own Odessa Moon. Each author talked about their books, read an excerpt, and answered questions. It was […]
The weekend is coming up, but here at the Press we’re already thinking about Sunday. Odessa Moon going to join other area novelists for an open-mic afternoon. They’re going to be reading from their works, answering questions and sign books. Need a Christmas gift? A book signed by an author makes a great present! Teresa […]
I spent several years working on the manuscript for “Sew Cloth Grocery Bags: Make Your Own in Quantity for Yourself, for Gifts, or for Sale.” The book gradually got bigger and more complete, particularly when Bill asked “Is there only one way to sew a cloth grocery bag?” As it turns out, there are two […]
Authors on a book tour typically bring just their pens and themselves. We’re trying something different. Tonight (11/12) at 7 p.m. at Cupboard Maker Books in Enola. We’re bringing a sewing machine, an iron, and a box of accessories, and Teresa will demonstrate sewing the cloth grocery bags we sell at our public appearances. It’s […]
In October, fall teased us like an inconstant lover. Here one day bringing a hint of cold, and then she’s gone out of town for a few days. Oh, sure, she left a not. We weren’t being ghosted. She wasn’t ready to settle down. Didn’t know what to do, and she needed time to clear […]
I recently published my second book, and I’m really proud of it. “Sew Cloth Grocery Bags: Make Your Own in Quantity for Yourself, for Gifts, and for Sale” took several years of work, sewing and writing down the instructions as I went, learning two styles of grocery bag manufacturing (“boxed” and “tailored”), teaching myself production […]
We’re looking forward to seeing our reading friends in Wellsboro, Pa., on Saturday, Oct. 19, for the Wellsboro BookFest, sponsored by From My Shelf Books & Gifts. We’re spending this week getting ready. We’ve packed our binoculars in anticipation of leaf-peeping season, something we’ve never tried. The Wellsboro Gazette says that the run of warm […]
Yes, this event happened in August. What with one thing and another I never got around to putting up Teresa’s report until now. Romance writing has never gotten much respect in the book industry despite the fact that many, many people adore it. This attitude is strange. Why would a money-making enterprise like book publishing […]
