Peter Abresch Reception (press release)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact:  Robyn Truslow

Looking for a fun gift for a local reader?  Peter Abresch will be introducing his new book, Me 'n Snack McGhee at Calvert Library Prince Frederick on Thursday, December 1 at 7pm.  The book takes place mostly in Calvert County including some businesses around Chapline Place, Solomons, the  Drum Point Lighthouse and even at Books and Bubbly at Calvert Library Prince Frederick.  At the end of the evening Mr. Abresch will answer questions about writing and publishing.  Light refreshments will be served.

When asked for a bio, Abresch had this to say about himself.   “Born in the USA... a long, looooong time ago.  I sold my first writing, a novella, to Analog Magazine in 1968, sold a movie option on it, and thought my career was made, but it wasn't until thirty years later that my first novel was published.  My eighth novel, Me and Snack McGhee is due out this month.  Clogging up the rest of my life was a stint as a professional dancer; a career with the federal government traveling all over the world; building three sailboats; and, with my wife and five sons, hammering and nailing a 3600 square foot house together off Battle Creek, on Long Cove, the location, by the way, shows up in the latest novel as Chance Dugan finds a missing boat tucked into the shallows.  I am also the author of Easy Reading Writing and I'm the moderator of the County's local writers group, Writers by the Bay.”

For more information, call Robyn Truslow at 410-535-0291.
