The Maine Island Mysteries Go to the Summer Fairs

You'll find me at two great summer fairs over the course of the next few weeks, including the 9th Annual Books in Boothbay July13th in Boothbay, ME--billed as Maine's Summer Book Fair--where I'll be signing copies of Matinicus and Reese's Leap alongside dozens of other terrific authors including Linda Greenlaw (she of  The Hungry Ocean  fame). FREE ADMISSION at this one! Check it out at http://booksinboothbay.blogspot.com/

And on Saturday, August 3rd, I'll be at The Maine LobsterFest on the waterfront in Rockland, ME. Over 20,000 lbs. of lobster are consumed here each year, and if you wander into the "marine tent" between noon and 4:00 p.m., you'll find me signing copies of all three of my books. Check this one out at http://www.mainelobsterfestival.com/ 

Hope to see some of you there!

A Second Printing and Upcoming Events

Sorry to be so long between posts. So much going on here! We've finally moved off our sailboat for the year and are busy transferring our lives from our sea home to our land apartment which means moving clothing, food, bedding, etc., as well as draining and winterizing all boat systems. Not to mention a good general cleaning both inside and out. A ton of work which we'll turn around and do in reverse in the spring!

Big news on the book front is that we've just had a second run of Matinicus printed (that's me signing hundreds of copies last week at Maine Authors Publishing up in Rockland, ME) and I'm about to hunker down for the rest of the final edits of Reese's Leap, the 2nd book in my Island Mystery Series, which I will have to the copy editor by Thanksgiving IF IT KILLS ME!! This may mean another few weeks of non-communication, but so be it!

A few upcoming events to tell you about. Sunday, November 11th, I'll be one of about 50 authors participating in the annual NE Authors Expo Holiday Book Sale at the Danversport Yacht Club (Danvers, MA). This event is free to the public and runs from 1:00 - 7:00 p.m. A great opportunity to pick up some fabulous books for your Holiday gift list!

I also have two events coming up in January, the first the New England Book Festival and Awards which runs all day and into the evening of January 19th at the Parker House Hotel in downtown Boston. I'll be both speaking and selling books at this event, which also includes the annual and much anticipated NE Book Festival Awards. The second event is on January 26th, when I'll be a guest at the Local Buzz Coffee House and Wine Bar in Cape Elizabeth, ME as part of "Local Writers at the Local Buzz" from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m.

Hope to see you at one of these events!!
