Research Trip on the Horizon

I'll be serving as a panelist at the Murder As You Like It Conference being presented by Mechanicsburg Mystery Bookshop in Mechanicsburg, Pa.  I am thrilled to be included with such a well known group of authors.  Please visit their website for registration  and directions to this great event!

All ebooks in 'A Ballysea Mystery series are on sale for $2.99 for the month of March leading up to St. Patrick's Day.  That's a $2.00 savings on each download.  Follow Catherine (Cat) Murphy and her Irish Wolfhound, The O'Brien, as they cross the Atlantic to begin a new life in the seaside village of Ballysea, Ireland.

He's back!  Chief Inspector Cam Fergus once again has his picnic interrupted by another dead body.  Who has murdered the young man and why?   There is nothing quite like flies swarming around a dead body to put a damper on a romantic picnic in the forest on your first day off in weeks. It was early May, and the warm weather had brought forth the ever present bluebells blanketing the floor of the ancient forest like a fine blue mist.  The decaying leaves of autumn had been violently pushed aside

Here we go again! Just one day after the release of the print version of "A Ballysea Christmas", Amazon and Barnes & Noble have sold out again and are listing the book as Temporarily Out of Stock. This seems to happen every Holiday season. If you're looking for an Irish mystery for the reader on your list, it can be purchased directly from the publisher at https://store.bookbaby.com/book/a-ballysea-christmas.

Well...it's over until next year.  It was a great weekend meeting all the visitors to the Maryland Irish Festival.  Sales were even better than last year thanks to the assistance of my wonderful daughter, Michele Bange, who basically handled most of the sales on Friday and Saturday while I was nursing a bad cold and cough and my husband, Russell, who helped man the booth on Sunday.

It was a beautiful ride up to York, Pa. to participate with over 100 other author's in the annual York Book Expo.  We met a look of lovely people, visited with fellow authors, made some valuable contacts and sold some books.  The best part was traffic on the dreaded Baltimore Beltway (695) co-operated and I was home before dark.   Did I ever mention, I had driving in the dark???

Fall is here and with it comes the change in weather and shorter hours of daylight for outside activities!  Time to stock up on some books by your favorite authors or maybe do some early Christmas shopping for the book lover on your list.  The date is October 21, 2018 from 11:00-4:00 pm.  Admission is free.

I will be joining a huge author turn out for the 2017 York Book Festival on Saturday October21, 2017.  There will be books to thrill the whole family!  Come out and visit and pick up your books at special festival prices! Wisehaven Event Center – October 21, 2017 2985 E Prospect Rd, York, PA 17402 717-600-1515

I will be signing and selling all of my books at the Chesapeake Celtic Festival on Sunday October 8, 2017.  If you're on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Maryland drive on over to Snow Hill and visit us in the visitors center.  http://celticfest.net/index.html
