Coffee and muffins with mystery writer M.E. Kemp Saturday AM

Mystery writer M.E. Kemp will be chatting with all who are interested at a coffee-and-muffins breakfast at 9 AM Saturday (tomorrow) morning at The Pillars, 922 Central Avenue.

The author, who is promoting her recent mystery, Death of a Dutch Uncle, covers the world of Colonial Puritans (more worldly than you ever imagined) with her two Puritan snoops, Hetty and Creasy.

Here is a blurb from her website for the latest book --

Death of a Dutch Uncle is a funny, historically accurate picture of the Albany Dutch and their Mohawk allies in 1691. When the Patroon’s nephew drops dead on Boston Common on training day, my two nosy Puritan detectives, Hetty Henry and “Creasy” Cotton meet some eccentric Dutch characters in their search to uncover just who poisoned the poltroon of a nephew.

Hetty and Creasy face Indian raids, kidnapping and piracy on the High Hudson before they uncork the killer with a doctored dram of their own.

So whether you're a mystery or history buff, you can get a chance to hear about naughty Puritans and saintly sinners. Plus, she'll have books along for signing.

To ensure a muffin, call Nancy and Lamont, innkeepers of The Pillars, at (908) 753-0922 to let them know you're coming.

If you miss the breakfast, you can catch the author at 1 PM at the Bound Brook Library, 402 East High Street. (Free, no registration required.)
