As part of National Novel Writing Month, I decided to write the third and final installment of the Maeve Kenny series. The story picks up a few years after A Sudden Gift of Fate ends. It was great to spend another month at Keuka Lake (in my imagination, that is—drat!) writing about the further adventures of Fergal, Brídgeen, Maeve & Andy.
I just finished the first draft. My process is to walk away from the book for a few months now and work on other editing before I go back to it. There are some great new plot lines and more than a couple twists. Can’t wait to get this ready for my readers.
Stay tuned for a special online shopping deal for my readers, plus news about the third book in the Maeve Kenny series!!
Be sure to check out Book Look in the latest edition of Life in the Finger Lakes magazine. A Sudden Gift of Fate was reviewed by Laurel C. Wemett who calls it an “engaging novel of two likable couples and how they handle the challenges in their lives.”
If you haven’t read this wonderful magazine before, be sure to give it a look. It truly is a celebration of Finger Lakes life, from the breathtaking scenery to the work of fine artisans, from the fascinating lakeside places to the bounty of their shores, fine produce to exquisite wines.
I have created a web site for all of my writing.
It’s called marypathyland.com. Consider it a clearinghouse for all
of my works, including digital versions of my new and already
published novels. Stop by and let me know what you think.
Many people have been asking if you can visit Keuka Spring Vineyards for my book signing if you don’t have a ticket for the Keuka Lake Wine Trail barbecue at the wineries event. The answer is “Yes,” owner Judy Wiltberger said with a smile.
I stopped by Keuka Spring last weekend to drop off signed copies of my novel and discuss the logistics of the June 26 event with Judy. Of course I returned there a couple of days later for my first tasting of the season. (Did you know Keuka Spring’s tastings are free? Not many wineries do that anymore.) I bought a few bottles including a heavenly Vignoles Dessert Wine.

I’m delighted to announce that Keuka Spring Vineyards will carry “A Sudden Gift of Fate” starting Memorial Day Weekend.
I will also be there signing copies of the novel from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 26. The signing will be part of the day’s Keuka Lake Wine Trail Event, Barbecue at the Wineries. According to their web site:
…Each winery features its own barbecue dish with a special sauce, marinade or rub, all made in New York State. We’ll throw open our windows, decks and porches for you to savor the warmth and beauty of the area and to discover a myriad of possibilities for barbecue and wine. $25 per person in advance.
It has been a delight to watch Keuka Spring’s wines evolve since they opened. They have a wonderful selection (of both whites and reds) that appeals to all palates. (If you come to the event, and enjoy dry red wine, try the Miller’s Cove or Lemberger. Clara’s Red is a sweeter, delightful “house red” wine, perfect for patio sipping in the summer.)
I’m in the process of contacting book stores and wineries to lineup sales and signings of A Sudden Gift of Fate. If you go to the Spring (W)rites Literary Festival in Ithaca this weekend, be sure to look for my ad in the official program. Look for the Events calendar to be updated soon!
As part of the Friends of the George F. Johnson Memorial Library Book Review Series, I’ll be discussing A Sudden Gift of Fate on Tuesday, April 13, at 7:30 p.m. in the basement meeting room. Come at 7 p.m. for free refreshments. I’ll have copies of the novel for sale ($20 + $1.60 sales tax) and signing.
The talk occurs during National Library Month. Fitting. I owe so much to this library. I took my first book out there (Horton Hears A Who) and learned a lot about writing and editing through other books I checked out.
Hope you can join us!
