Tampa Book Buzz

local author news:cowling and boucher

*Local author Jerry Cowling (Lincoln in the Basement) has had a busy book-signing schedule lately.  So far this month, he went to a book fair in Lutz and to the Christmas Festival in Brooksville.  On January 6, he has a booksigning at Village Voices in Bradenton and will be a vendor at the Brooksville Raid (a Civil War event) on January 20 and 21.

*Local author/artist/blogger Wendy Boucher (Parvenue Throws a Party) has been teasing her fans for months now.  At a book group meeting a few months ago, Boucher talked about her new book Teacup Travels, currently making the publishing rounds with her NY literary agent.  She also mentioned an earlier unpublished work of hers, a mystery titled Letters From A Dead Armadillo, that she might get around to publishing one day.  Well, that day has finally arrived!  

Letters From A Dead Armadillo has an official release date of May 18th, so Boucher fans don’t have too much longer to wait. And I think I read some small mention of Boucher’s upcoming art exhibit at the Lyssa Morgan Gallery in South Tampa…a minor, routine, everyday event…something about a solo month-long show of her work opening on May 18….or something like that.  Only five months and five days more to wait, Boucher fans.
