Cupboard Maker Books in Enola has many cats. Squeekie gets most of the attention due to his gregarious nature and charming ways. He wears a little bowtie on a daily basis, since like most cats, he believes in being stylish and fashion-forward. Everyone knows bowties are cool. There are also the constant parade of Castaway […]
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 […]
It’s been a long time since I posted anything related to “Fed, Safe, and Sheltered” on resilience and sustainability. That’s because the book covers everything I wanted to say about the subject. But over the past winter, thanks to my new writing desk, I learned something new about keeping warm during the winter that I’d […]
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 […]
