We’ve been in Maine for several days now, weather warm and blue skies. I have personally eat my way through lobster, clams, mussels, scallops, and Atlantic halibut. I discovered a wonderful dish called nage, which is pieces of lobster, scallops, mussels and shrimp cooked in an aromatic court bouillon.
This is the view from the deck where we had this spectacular dish.
I’ve chatted my way through two book signings, one more to come on Saturday and sold out at one store!
We plan to come back at the beginning of October to sell my latest, Death by Pumpkin, at the annual Damariscotta Pumpkin Fest and do a reading at a local library. Everyone has commented positively on the cover, so huge thanks to everyone who helped me choose it!
Hi there. Lovely food and book signings. It sounds absolutely ideal. Can you send me a picture of your workspace where you write ?? All the best. Kris.
Happy to do so, as soon as I get home. We are in Maine for another few days! I’ll put it on my list of to-dos. I write in a messy loft area with piles of papers, books and two windows that look out to tree tops!
What a great work/vacay outing for you! I’m sure your Death by Pumpkin will sell out again at the Pumpkin Fest. What a great read that was!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the book! I’m a foodie, too – is it too obvious?
I love it that you are also a foodie!
Sounds as if you are in the right place at the right time 🙂
Every year, Sue. If it weren’t for the fact there is hardly any place to swim on the coast in Maine, we would stay here longer/buy a small place here!
I think I’d give up aswimming if it was so close to my heart 🙂
Can’t live without swimming! Every day from April to November. I used to swim competitively.
I can understand that then… I never get to swim here.
You should come to Ireland in October… the town where I live has the biggest pumpkin festival in Ireland! All that seafood… I’m so envious!
Ali, that sounds like GREAT fun. We are considering a trip to Ireland next June, to coincide with the Blogger’s Bash in London, where I would stop by first.
How wonderful it all sounds, Noelle! I envy you Maine, and am so pleased the books are doing well. xx
Thanks, Terry! Just reposted your post on book reviews. I’m having a lazy morning, while my husband naps after a bad night. Maine is great – just no beaches where I can take a swim in this area. Marketing is tough, but necessary.
Food looks delicious, and Pumpkin Fest sounds great! 🙂
The seafood here is amazing – we don’t eat a bite of meat the whole time we are here!
Yay! Sounds like a great trip. I love the pictures.
We’re actually finding time to just sit and relax and enjoy the ocean views, something I never do at home. Bringing back pics – will see you next week!
Congrats and best wishes, Noelle. DEATH BY PUMPKIN is on my kindle and I’m sure looking forward to the read! xo
Thanks, Bette!

This is all exciting. What a great idea to coincide your signing with the festival.
