New Mystery Novella to Benefit Bellefonte's Benner-Linn House

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – Nov 29, 2008 – The Secret Tenant in the
General's House by Millie Baker Ragosta will debut in time for the annual
Victorian Christmas celebration in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. The author of
thirteen romance novels and a docent at the historic Benner-Linn House,
Ms. Ragosta wanted to do something special for the museum so she wrote
a mystery novella using the house and its history as a backdrop. Searching
for a publisher who might take on such a project, she eventually approached
the Quincannon Publishing Group, which has an imprint specializing in
museum books of all genres.

"For quite a few years now, things have been tough for small museums
because funding across the board has been scarce," said Alan Quincannon,
the company's editor-in-chief. "But visitors still like to buy books when they
visit even the smallest museums. Since books are a staple of museum gift
shops, we've had success in filling that void. It's an avenue which more
museums should explore."

Quincannon's imprint, Tory Corner Editions, caters to museums whether it be biographies, histories, or even fiction set in historic locales. But as a publisher, it maintains its professional integrity. "No matter what the book, the quality of the writing and the research always come first," explains Mr. Quincannon. "We are not a vanity press. We take pride in what we publish and Millie submitted a good solid yarn which should please any reader."

The synopsis:

The house had been built by a colonial general and its oldest tenant wasn't a person at all but an artifact tucked away under the eaves of a long-forgotten hidden room.

Nora Marino is a docent at the quaint Benner-Linn House situated in the equally quaint town of Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. Little could she realize how overseeing a window repair in such an inaccessible room would lead to such a startling discovery not to mention how taking a nighttime walk in the park would uncover a robbery plan which would ultimately place her in jeopardy.

As of December 13th, The Secret Tenant in the General's House will be available exclusively at the Benner-Linn House, 133 North Allegheny Street, Bellefonte, PA 16823, which is open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons. Phone: (814) 355-4280. E-mail: Liaison@QuincannonGroup.com
