Cat & Mouse Press to celebrate new beach reads series release July 9
Cat & Mouse Press will hold a party from 1 to 3 p.m., Saturday, July 9, at the Lewes Public Library to celebrate the sale of its 25,000th book, in conjunction with the summer launch of “Beach Secrets,” the latest book in the Rehoboth Beach Reads series.
Free and open to the public, the party will feature book sales by Browseabout Books, author signings, imprinted merchandise, refreshments and children’s activities.
The library is the perfect place to party because there is free parking and a bus stop for the new Lewes Line, which provides transportation into downtown Lewes, to the beaches and to other Lewes locations for just $1. Participants can easily pop into the party and then make a day of it with no parking meter concerns.
A variety of Cat & Mouse Press books will be available to buy. Featuring local settings, the books make great summer reading items to have on hand at a beach house, or excellent gifts for friends and service providers.
Many of the authors whose stories were selected for “Beach Secrets” will be on hand to sign books and answer questions. The book contains 24 short stories, all set in and around Rehoboth Beach. Readers will meet philandering fiancés, teenage tinkerers and romantic rock stars; discover cryptic letters, historical legends and family secrets; and encounter a WWII submarine, an avenging wife and a lucky chicken. There are even a couple of crossword puzzles to solve.
Cat & Mouse Press author Nancy Powichroski Sherman will be available to sign her popular “Sandy Shorts” and “More Sandy Shorts” books. Her stories take place in towns from Cape May, N.J., to Chincoteague, Va., and include places such as Rehoboth, Bethany, Lewes, Fenwick Island and Dewey Beach.
Children will get free mermaid stickers and be able to decorate a pirate hat or color a page from the award-winning “Mermaid in Rehoboth Bay.” Other children’s books from Cat & Mouse Press will also be available.
