across Chester and Lancaster counties and Maryland
WEST CHESTER _ Author Bruce E. Mowday is scheduled to give talks on his books on Richie Ashburn, General Lafayette, crab-walking murderer Danilo Cavalcante and Gettysburg during events in March.
Mowday said. “I’m honored to be asked to take part in the events and give presentations on my books.”
His new book, A Killer at the Door, was released by Schiffer Publishing last week. The work details the escape of Cavalcante and the fear he spread throughout the county. Talks on the book include March 6 at 7:00 p.m. at Traditions at Longwood, March 8 from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at Brandywine Ace Hardware, Pocopson, on March 11 at 7:00 p.m. at Ware Presbyterian Village, Oxford, on March 15, at 1:00 p.m. at the Italian American Club in Kennett Square, and at the library in North East, Maryland, on March 25 at 6:30 p.m.
The event at the General Warren, Malvern, on the Cavalcante book on March 13 is a sellout.
“The interest in A Killer at the Door has been tremendous,” Mowday commented. “This morning Amazon listed the book at 29,792 out of more than 30 million books listed for sale and number 223 in its Murder and Mayhem category.”
