Then we ended the day by invitation to a new spot opening in Manchester, NH called Vino Aromas, where our son, Sal Junior, proposed to the love of his life! First time we were ever invited to a marriage proposal. It was bodacious!!!

 Dan and Nadine Villafranca will open Vino Aromas to the public on September 20, 2011. Vino Aromas is a wine retail store with a wine tasting room! Located at 997 Elm Street in downtown Manchester, NH. This is a ground-breaking concept that will surely be a great place to stop in when in the area. Vino aromas will showcase a variety of 80 to 100 wines from around the world, as well as local wine distributors. In front is a retail store and in the back is a  wine tasting room which has 7 tables to accommodate up to 22 customers.  There you can try up to 28 different wines in three different sizes: tasting, half glass or full glass.  They offer a small menu with a variety of platters that compliment the selection of wines; including cheeses, fruits and deli meats. You must see it to believe it! Sal & I will be there on their opening day.

Once again we had an incredible event; meeting many new and old friends. This time featuring the New Yesterday, Tommy Gray Drowned and the New Candy-Colored Clown, which were both just re-published by A Snowy Day Distribution & Publishing!

Your continued support at our book events, as well as supporting our Nook and Kindle sales, are bodacious!

Next Saturday, June 25, 2011, Sal and I will be at the Plaistow Old Home Day, at Pollard Park in Plaistow, NH. See you there!

They will also feature the New Candy-Colored Clown. Both books make  great Father’s Day gifts!

Computer issues have kept me off the air, so I’ll be brief and get this posted. We’ll see you there!

Here’s a picture of me with Dee at the Manchester B&N

Sincere thanks to all the wonderful associates at the Manchester Barnes & Noble; especially Claire and Karen!

Sal’s second author, Kathryn LoConte had a great day at the Salem Barnes & Noble, with Searching for Saffron, at the same time as us!

Next week, May 14, we have a personal event, but you can catch up with Sal’s third author, Michelle McCorkle, with Angel of Mercy, at the Salem Barnes & Noble. And/or Kathryn LoConte at the Toadstool Bookshop in Keene!

The following week, May 21, we have a private event with the Monadnock Writer’s Group; Michelle will be at the Toadstool Bookshop in Keene!

After that, on Memorial Day weekend, we return to Yellow Umbrella Books on Cape Cod on the  anniversary of the first event for Summer And August!

Lots more going on this summer. Keep coming back!

April was a very busy month for Sal and me…
We had Birthdays, Retirements, Concerts, Expo’s and more!

We have a lot going in May. Our very first event for the NEW Yesterday, Tommy Gray Drowned, A Murder Mystery.
Yesterday, Tommy Gray Drowned is the sixth book published by A Snowy Day Distribution in our first year of business.

If you read the original you will have answers to questions left hanging. If you have not read the original you will certainly find Yesterday, Tommy Gray Drowned, A Murder Mystery an emotional experience.
Sal and I hope to see you at the Barnes & Noble Bookseller in Manchester, NH at 2:00pm.

But if you can’t make it there we will be speaking to the Monadnock writers Group on May 21st and then at Yellow Umbrella Books, in Chatham, MA, on Cape Cod on May 29, 2011 (which is the one year anniversary of Summer And August).
Much more coming up this Summer and Fall!

The rework was truly a labor of love! I took apart my cathartic work, which is my only book written in the first person. I eliminated a small amount of unnecessary dialogue and then added clarification and detail. The revised edition consists of 288 pages vs. the original 224, which was first published in 2000.

To those who read the original: I believe you will come away with answers to questions you may have been left wanting answered.

To those who have not read the original: I believe it reflects the growth of my writing over the past decade. You will experience a plethora of emotions. YESTERDAY, TOMMY GRAY DROWNED is a Murder Mystery, set in a fictional town south of Worcester, MA.

Our sincere appreciation to Regina, Brian, Tammy, Jan, and all the wonderful folks at The Toadstool Bookshops in Milford, NH! And our thanks to all of you newcomers to the LaRosa Chronicles!

This coming Saturday, March 12, 2011 we return to the Toadstool in  Keene, NH. I’m looking forward to seeing many old friends and meeting many new friends at this event, including Franklin Pierce Alumni.
See you there!

PS
Yesterday, Tommy Gray Drowned will be available on Nook & Kindle within a week!

Sincerest thanks to Mary Ellen for having us back at this incredible Barnes & Noble store in Salem, NH! You and the associates of this store make Sal and me feel so comfortable and at home there!

At this event the store also featured Summer And August, Father Sandro’s Money, Candy-Colored Clown, Spiderling and Piscatagua on the Nook.

 Pass the word to anyone you know in the Salem, NH area; especially those who live across the border in MA, the Salem, NH Barnes & Noble store has the largest area dedicated the Nook and Nook accessories that we’ve ever seen! And there’s no sales tax in New Hampshire!

Next Saturday I have off, but we will be attending at the Barnes & Noble in Manchester, NH for Kathryn LoConte, author of Searching for Saffron.  Katy traveled to six continents before writing Searching for Saffron, a book of short stories telling of the experiences and events of Anna Collins, as she travels around the globe from country to country. It’s a fun book and an easy read. Sal and I hope you come out to support this fresh, young, New Hampshire talent! Her event is at 2:00pm.

PS
The two weeks following I have events at The Toadstool Bookshops in Milford, NH (March 5th) and The Toadstool Bookshops in Keene, NH (March 12th), both are at 2:00pm
