In the late 80’s ‪#‎judwilson‬, ‪#‎Kenriaf‬ and ‪#‎HenryFerrini‬ went to NYC to interview Simon Geller for their film “Radio Fishtown.” Soon after Simon left town,  fate stepped in. One day Simon’s landlord was dumping all of Geller’s Program tapes into a dumpster. Henry happened by. The landlord gave the tapes Henry where they sat in his wet cellar for decades. Fast forward 26 years, last June Ferrini got a call from Ken Philpot from Ohio. Long story short.

Return to Marienstadt, everyone’s favorite hometown!

Dear Readers,
It’s been too long since I sent a newsletter but it has been a busy winter and I think you will enjoy what I have to tell you. First, I need to make an apology for the Winter Warmth Contest. Due to an unforeseen software glitch, the contest never began. However, even though winter is nearly over, and it has been a very mild winter here in New England, the contest will happen. And the good thing is, I’ve added to the prizes! Three new cowls in stunning colors will be offered when I get the software issues worked out. Believe me, even if you have to wait until next year, you’ll love wearing these hats and cowls!
And, there are two new releases in the very popular Marienstadt Stories series. The first one is a digital Omnibus edition of The Bucktail Cap in the Trunk: More Secrets of Marienstadt. It contains all 13 stories originally released in three volumes and you save 33% over buying them separately. In these stories you will revisit the Pennsylvania Dutch town of Marienstadt and learn more about its residents. Included are The Memory Quilt of Lacey Mulhearn, about one of the town’s first Irish settlers and what happened when he decided to take a wife. In the title story, The Bucktail Cap in the Trunk, we meet the four Fritz brothers who fought in the Civil War in the 42nd Pennsylvania Regiment, the famous Bucktails.
The fourth book in the series is also available in digital or paperback. This sequel to The Christmas Daughter continues the story of the Wilde family. In The Legend, Boone’s brother Kit returns to Marienstadt to ask for his brother’s help in tracking down a fabulous Friesian stallion taken from Kit’s stables. Along the way they encounter Durga’s Dogs, a motorcycle club committed to rescuing fight dogs. Bestselling author Kiana Davenport calls The Legend “a riveting and haunting story.”
I hope all of you are getting lots of reading done and I hope you’ll let me know what you think of these stories. It’s only a few weeks until Spring!
Thanks for reading,
Kathleen
P.S. Are you looking ahead to summer reading? Marienstadt isn’t the only place to visit! May I suggest a trip to Boston’s Beacon Hill where mystery abounds. The Beacon Hill Chronicles series now has four volumes available in digital or paperback. Or, if a mysterious island filled with art, romance and rumors of madness and murder, why not try Depraved Heart: A Novel. There’s plenty of mystery for all!

“Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, ‘So what.’ That’s one of my favorite things to say, ‘So what.’”

Andy Warhol (1928 – 1987)

A Pittsburg native, born to parents who had immigrated from what is now Slovakia, Warhol was the dominant figure in the Pop Art movement of the sixties through the eighties. Trained at the Carnegie Institute in commercial art, he brought a finely honed artistic sense and keen observational skills to advertising art, underappreciated in post-war America. In the early sixties, Warhol began to exhibit art based on iconic American images such as Campbell Soup cans and Coke bottles, as well as celebrity images of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and others. As his own fame grew he used it as a comment on the society around him, it was he who coined the phrase “fifteen minutes of fame.” In 1968 he was shot by a disgruntled member of the Factory, his New York studio and hang-out, which added to the serious health problems he had suffered since boyhood, but survived another twenty years branching out into films and music, most famously managing and producing The Velvet Underground. Warhol’s diptych “Silver Car Crash” sold at a 2013 Sotheby’s auction for $105 million, a record for his work.

The original post in this series, about Gorton’s abandoning consumers, was shared on the GMG Facebook page.  That led to a post by a British reader calling attention to this gem.
