On Tuesday I returned to work at PennLive, except that I was working for myself this time. The company held its first Local Author Showcase, and organized by Mary Clayton, marketing event planner, it was a blast!

Peschel Press has been participating in the Hershey Winter Arts and Crafts Show for several years now; our first year was November 2014. This year, November 3, 2018, was our fifth year with the show.
