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 […]
We had a busy, long day Saturday. We got up at 7 am for the Kiwanis Club Spring Arts and Crafts Show and did well. That took until 2 pm. Bill’s providing the report for that, so I won’t rehash the day other than to say that, as always, it’s fun to get out and […]
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 […]
We have the enormous luxury in Central Pennsylvania of having a few independent bookshops to choose from. I have frequently written about Cupboard Maker Books in Enola since we’ve done some signings there. We love that place. But there are other, equally wonderful places! I had the signal pleasure of being asked by Deb Beamer, […]
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 […]
I joined the Central Pennsylvania Romance Writers last March and it started paying dividends right away. I met a lot of great people who all understand the writing journey. I’ve learned a lot at each meeting. I started writing more thanks to the concept of fifty words a day. I attended the Damon Suede program […]
Hannah Nawa, a go-getting entrepreneur in Shippensburg, Pa, decided that her town needed a book festival. But instead of waiting for someone else to do the work, she started one herself. That led to a great day for us at Peschel Press and quite a few other local authors as well. The first Shippensburg Book […]
We here at Peschel Press (that’s Bill and me) have done several book signings at Cupboard Maker Books, so naturally we showed up for the Small Business Saturday signing after Thanksgiving. From previous blogposts, you, dear reader, may have gathered that Michelle has not only 150,000 books in her store but she also has cats. […]
