October 20 ‘Moseskill Marketplace is pleased to announce that Deadlines, Headlines & Porcupines, The Laugh Lines Behind the Bylines written by Ann Hauprich and illustrated by Steve Nease is available at the shop. Ann has earned awards in publication categories ranging from Best Editorial to Best Feature Article to Best Front Page Design and served for several years on the Journalism Advisory Committee of her beloved Alma Mater, Sheridan College of Applied Arts & Technology. She returned to the Saratoga Region in the early 1990s to be closer to her family and chose to freelance from home and soon had bylines in such publications as Adirondack Life, Bluegrass Unlimited, GRIT, Writer’s Digest and Women’s Circle. While working on Deadlines, she created Saratoga County Living, a tiny magazine that showcased the faces behind the places. This magazine was sold in 2004 so she could devote her time to what she loved most: writing. Deadlines was inspired by a doc who heals fractured funny bones, a bubbly bottle museum curator, a bear-hunting granny, a sweet candy-maker, an udderly humorous dairy farmer.. and a host of other playful souls. Nease’s illustrations are samples of his creations that are syndicated across Canada, including the family comic strip, Pud. ‘Ann will be just one of ten regional authors who will be attending Meet the Authors Day to be held at Moseskill on Saturday, November 18th, from 11 to 2.
