PHILIPSBURG — Local romance novelist Bethany M. Sefchick, of State College, will hold a book signing from 2 to 4 p.m. Thursday, July 7, at Thieves Market on Front Street in Philipsburg.
Thieves Market and the Country Peddlers will be hosting the event in conjunction with their other Heritage Days events.
Sefchick will be promoting her most recent release, the new Regency-era romance novel “The Kiss of a Rogue,” which is the eighth full-length novel in the popular “Tales From Seldon Park” series.
‘This novel is really a story of redemption,’ Sefchick said.
‘I had a character that, through the course of previous books, I transformed from a nice guy into something of a playboy without really intending to do so. Fans truly came to dislike him, but I never did. After all, he was my creation. So, I decided that I needed to shake things up a bit and remake him back into the dashing hero he used to be.
“Because that was my goal, I was also able to add in some humor to help the process along, something I can’t always do in my historical novels. This time, however, there is humor throughout. And hedgehogs. Lots of hedgehogs.”
Sefchick, a former Emmy-award winning television producer, published her first novel in 2011. She is the author of more than 20 novels, novellas and short stories, including “Edge of Heaven,” “A Midsummer Night’s Delusion,” “Crossed Hearts” and “Christmas in Philipsburg,” a locally set modern holiday romance.
Sefchick’s works are available on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, Kobo, AllRomance.com, Google Play, Lulu.com and iBooks in Apple’s iTunes Store. Print versions are available at Thieves Market and at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
