Thanks to everyone in New Braunfels, Texas, for making our event last Saturday a big success.  Despite inclement weather, we sold out all hardcover and paperback copies of The Cana Mystery by 4 p.m.  David would like to send a special thank you to New Braunfels Mayor Barron Casteel for his warm welcome, to the Sophienburg Museum, and to LaVerne Johnson for her organizing expertise.

Don't miss R.B. O'Gorman's debut medical thriller Fatal Rhythm, with 24 5-star Amazon reviews!  Dr. O'Gorman will be signing copies and meeting fans in New Orleans on October 16.

Dr. Jeff Mirus (Ph.D. Intellectual History, Princeton, 1973) recommends The Cana Mystery, calling the book "Quite good: Strong characters. Deft plot.  Thoroughly engaging.  Actually quite easy to suspend one's disbelief, which is a key achievement in the fantasy genre."

Highlights include:

"The Cana Mystery by David Beckett (Tuscany Press) has shades of The Da Vinci Code (the comparison is inevitable, and it's meant as a compliment!"

"As the story bounces back and forth between the Vatican in 1462 and the modern day, the reader is exposed to the rich yet generally unknown history of Malta and other locales and gains a new appreciation of their place in the world."

To Gus and our good friends at the Seize the Day radio program out of Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida: Thank you so much for inviting Mr. Beckett to speak and for recommending The Cana Mystery!

Mr. Beckett asked me to say "Thank you!" to all readers and to the IPBA for helping May 10 - May 24 become our best 2-week sales period ever!
