THE FARRAN
MACKENZIE HISTORY/MYSTERY BUS TOURS
2009 SEASON
Maggie Wheeler,
author of the Farran Mackenzie Seaway mystery series, and Mary Lynn
Alguire (creator of the fabulous Lost Villages Bus Tour) will partner
for a second season to offer this special tour along the St. Lawrence,
stopping at various locations showcased in the novels: A
Violent End, The Brother of Sleep and All Mortall
Things. Passengers will be entertained with historical
background, novel bits and bites, author insights, and personal
anecdotes of memorable moments from the last 10 years with Farran
Mackenzie. The tour will end at the Nightingale
House in Ingleside (Sterling House in All Mortall
Things) for a tea in the garden hosted by owner Lesley
O’Gorman, the good-sported model for the character of Mildred Keeps.
During the tea, tours of Sterling House will be given in small groups,
and Maggie will give a special reading from On a Darkling
Plain (slated for publication in October 2009).
Please note:
NEW Dates for the
2009 season are Saturday, August 8, and Saturday, September 12.
