Leland and I will be signing books at Barnes & Noble on the Country Club Plaza next Saturday - November 22 - from 1 - 3 p.m. The store is at 420 W. 47th St. Kansas City, Missouri
This is our first book signing event and we're curious to see who might come and what aspects of our books generate the most interest. The new book, Mystery of the Irish Wilderness (which by the way is non-fiction), begins in the pre-Civil War era, with Irish Famine immigrants, and follows 150 years of land use policies and personalities as they affect the area the Irish settled. It also follows the life of the intrepid young priest who led the colony: John Joseph Hogan. He became the first bishop of Kansas City and much of our research was done here in the archives of the Diocese.
Of course, See the Ozarks and Beautiful and Enduring Ozarks will be available as well!

I saw in the Rural Electric magazine your web page. The Mystery of the Irish Wilderness article was interesting. I have a daughter who is interested in her heritage so it made an impression. I will be watching for your book in the Branson area. We have not had a chance to see much of Missouri east of Taney Co. and are planning some traveling in the near future to see more of the state, including the Irish Wilderness.
