Celebrating the Lehigh Valley in Print

Celebrate various locations around the Lehigh Valley (and Slate Belt) as they appear as settings in various books by local authors. Parisian Phoenix Publishing has titles that present a fictionalized Bethlehem (romantic comedy Trapped: What if Skunks Were Matchmakers? recently released with full-color photography and a new cover), short stories that depict growing up in Bethlehem in the 1950s and 1960s (Coffee in the Morning by Nazareth author Larry Sceurman. The book also includes an anchor story that features the Jersey Devil and a disgraced Mummer), the small-town life in Fullerton in the 1970s just when the Lehigh Valley Mall opened (The Death of Big Butch also by Larry Sceurman) and various locations in Easton, Roseto and Mount Bethel (Angel Ackerman’s Fashion and Fiends horror series, which now has four volumes Manipulations, Courting Apparitions, Recovery and Road Trip). This combination of readings and stories will take those attending on a journey throughout the region and highlight setting as a character all its own.
