Lily Harp Book Launch Tonight

lily harp

Tonight, join Stacy Barton in celebrating the launch of her new, beautifully-crafted novella and short story collection: Lily Harp.

The year is 1976. The scene composed of clapboard marinas, bays, mangroves, stilt houses, sea grapes, and barrier islands reachable only by boat at the edge of the Florida Gulf.

To set the stage for the reading, Stacy invites you to harken back to this quiet island with music provided by her multi-talented daughter Olivia Barton. A pot-luck spread of homespun ‘family gathering’ dishes as well as a ‘signature libation’ inspired by the book’s setting will round out the evening’s celebration.

The celebration is FREE so come hear the author read from this engaging story filled with poetic language and unforgettable characters.

Your Scribbler’s Living Right!

Mary Anna Evans books

 

You know you’re living right when the postman brings not one, but a complete set of NINE,  Faye Longchamp Archaeological Mysteries by the inimitable Mary Anna Evans. (Yep – that’s Isolation, the uncorrected proof, so nanny nanny boo boo.) It’s gonna be a long, hot, wonderful summer in the hammock for your Scribbler, boys and girls.  Don’t be envious; you can get your own right here.

From her website:

Mary Anna Evans has degrees in physics and engineering, but her heart is in the past.  Her series character, Faye Longchamp, lives the exciting life of an archaeologist, and Mary Anna envies her a little.  Mary Anna is a recipient of the Mississippi Library Association’s Mississippi Author Award and her novels have received recognitions including a spot on Voice of Young America’s (VOYA) list of “Adult Mysteries with Young Adult Appeal.”  Mary Anna is a recipient of a writer’s residency from The Studios of Key West, and she has won the Benjamin Franklin Award, the Florida Historical Society’s Patrick D. Smith Florida Literature Award, and three Florida Book Awards bronze medals.  Faye Longchamp’s growing list of adventures include Artifacts, Relics, Effigies, Findings, Floodgates, Strangers, Plunder, Rituals, and, coming in the summer of 2015, Isolation. Published by Poisoned Pen Press, they are available from all  major outlets in hardcover, trade paper, ebook, large-print, and audio editions.
