’Tis the Season!

The holiday season is underway, and Tuxedo Cat Press has a busy slate of events!

This Sunday, November 10, TCP will be at A Very Gifty Christmas in Newtown, Connecticut, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We’ll be with more than 100 other vendors to celebrate the joy of the season. This is your chance to do your holiday shopping early while supporting local artists, craftspeople, and even at least one author!

Not only can you buy personally inscribed books, but TCP is now offering free giftwrapping for all purchases of TCP books! Seriously, friends—holiday shopping just doesn’t get easier than this!

There’s a complete list of our in-person events on the Upcoming Events page, but here’s one you won’t see there: BOOK CLUB on the Go is reading State v. Claus for their December Pints & Pages Book Club at 5:30 p.m. on December 5, 2024! They’ll be meeting at Red Heat Tavern, Evergreen Walk, South Windsor, Connecticut. For more information, contact Cynde Acanto at shop@bookclubct.com.

If you can’t make it to any of our events and you’d still like to buy signed copies of State v. Claus and/or Becoming Mrs. Claus, contact TCP at tcp@tuxedocatpress.com.

Wishing you a joyful and peaceful holiday season!

Small Business Saturday 2021

Stopped in at River Bend Bookshop in Glastonbury, Connecticut, on Small Business Saturday, and look what I saw on the shelf!

Coming soon: My Brother, Romeo

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is dfw-pjab-mbr-cover-mid.jpg

Two brothers, unalike in nearly every way,

In a small town in California, where we lay our scene,

From cattle roundups to Shakespeare’s famous balcony,

Where brotherly blood must overcome all obstacles

Lest the show not go on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coming soon from Tuxedo Cat Press–the lighthearted story of two very different brothers who must find a way to work together on a community theater production of Romeo and Juliet.

A Word from Our Managing Editor

Dear Readers,

My name is Charlotte Antoinette Burgh. Once upon a time, I was a pregnant stray. Then, I was a shelter kitty, waiting to be adopted while my adorable little kittens easily found homes.

Today, I am the managing editor of Tuxedo Cat Press.

It wasn’t an easy road. My time on the streets was rocky. In addition to getting knocked up, I got into a few scuffles that left me with a scar on my nose and another on my eye. Not terrible, but enough that some potential adopters didn’t think I was pretty enough.

Screw them. I’m gorgeous.

Festive Book Selfie!

Gorgeous book selfie from dear friend, avid reader, and TCP supporter Kathleen Morrison Grover.

Her caption: “I couldn’t fit all 5 copies in the photo.” (Sorry if I’ve spoiled somebody’s Christmas surprise!)

Thanks, K!

It’s Small Business Saturday!

Here in the US, it’s Small Business Saturday, a day when we encourage everybody to shop at their local small businesses. Thanks to the internet, it’s possible to shop at many small businesses from the comfort of your home, but we guarantee that they’d love to see you in person!

Reader Elizabeth Flynn sent this photo after she purchased State v. Claus at her local independent bookstore, River Bend Bookshop in Glastonbury, Connecticut. This means that she supported THREE local businesses: River Bend Bookshop, Tuxedo Cat Press, and author P. Jo Anne Burgh. Way to go, Elizabeth!

State v. Claus is available at local bookstores nationwide. If your store doesn’t have it in stock, just tell the person in charge of ordering that it’s available through Ingram. They’ll know what that means.

Thanks for supporting local businesses!
