Just when our spirits needed some perking up after a long, long winter, the revised third printing of Capt. Jepp and the Little Black Book arrived. Thanks to the expertise of author and graphic artist Flint Whitlock, what was a great cover is now a Wow! cover. Flint and co-author Terry Barnhart have been keeping busy with a heavy presentation and signing schedule.
If you attend the Virginia Festival of books during the last weekend of March, stop by our table and say hi to Del Staecker. Del will personally sign a copy of The Muted Mermaid for you and is selling other Cable Publishing titles. According to Del’s publicist, Ray Latrides, Del’s Florida book launch of Mermaid is next month at the former estate of F. Lee Bailey and will kick off a busy signing tour.
Nan Wisherd appeared on two segments of Outdoor Wisconsin last month, talking about the early history of northwestern Wisconsin’s Brule River and Ojibwe customs and art forms. Nan hopes to complete her third book about Lake Superior regional history this year.
Sometime in the (hopefully) not-too-distant future, we’ll be releasing An Element of Truth, the third bad-girl book by Sharon Darby Hendry. Truth was Sharon’s first attempt at writing and became a made-for-TV-movie, starring Donna Mills, while still in manuscript form. We look forward to offering another fabulously written true story.
With two months to go before its release, the buzz is already building for Dr. Clifton Meador’s Puzzling Symptoms. Clifton has a confirmed speaking spot at Nashville’s very prestigious Southern Festival of Books in October and is firming up plans for a book tour through Tennessee and Alabama.
We are proud of all of our authors. Write on!
