Beach Secrets Book Launch After Action Report

What do the Lewes History Museum and the Lewes Public Library have in common? My wife and I were at both this past Saturday. Of course, it’s easy when the two are adjacent to one another.

Beach Secrets coverThe main reason for our visit to Lewes, DE was the official launch of Beach Secrets, the latest anthology by Cat & Mouse Press, and a celebration of the publisher’s 25,000th book sold. The library provided a wonderful venue and the launch was well-attended.

Nearly half of the writers from the anthology were on hand, myself included, to sign copies and socialize.  Cat & Mouse owner and editor, Nancy Day Sakaduski, her husband Joe, and the folks at Browseabout Books did a fantastic job of organizing the event. Fellow writer Donald Challenger provided some light background music.  Beach Secrets marks my fourth story published with Cat & Mouse across three anthologies including Beach Nights and Beach Pulp.

The highlight of my day occurred near the end of the book launch when another fellow writer, Renee Rockland, made a point of telling me how much she loved my story, “Limited Time Offer” in the Christmas anthology, Over the River and Through the Woods (Year of the Book Press, 2019). If you’ll pardon the cliché, that was the icing on a sweet cake!

And speaking of cake…

As always, there is cake at the Cat & Mouse book launches!
