Ah, the Connecticut Renaissance Faire. What could be finer than a day spent with colorful characters greeting you with a hearty, Huzzzah! Catching whiffs of fried dough and baked potatoes seasoning the air. Mingling with artisans at an eclectic market, and watching happy faire-goers finding secret treasures along their way. Who wouldn't want to stay for a spell?
We feel delighted to be a part of the magic, and we sprinkled in mystery from the classic author booth on Shady Lane. The Connecticut Renaissance Faire offers this cozy nook to local authors to help spread the love of reading. We appreciate their support for local authors.
It's always a pleasure talking to readers about The Secret Files of Fairday Morrow, Fairday Morrow and the Talking Library, and hinting at clues from the third book in progress, Fairday Morrow and the Master's Emporium. This Labor Day the faire brewed up plenty of good vibes, and we told our story to curious passersby who inquired about the mystery of the Begonia House.
Once invited in, let the story begin...
"In book one, The Secret Files of Fairday Morrow, eleven-year old Fairday and her family move from Manhattan to a small town in Connecticut, where her parents have bought a big, spooky, crumbling Victorian Manor called the Begonia House. They want to turn it into a bed-and-breakfast, but after Fairday moves in strange occurrences start happening, and she finds out that an unsolved mystery had taken place in her home. Fairday and her friends, Lizzy and Marcus, in the Detective Mystery Squad, piece together clues to find out what happened in the house, and what they uncover is more shocking then they could have ever imagined.
The first mystery wraps up, and in book two, Fairday Morrow and the Talking Library, Fairday finds out that the Begonia House is hiding more secrets when she receives a worrisome note from a mysterious librarian warning that words in stories are vanishing, and that a bookworm is eating them. Fairday and the DMS are on the case to save the stories! They uncover a magical portal that transports them to the Talking Library, where books come alive and story magic abounds."
