Pitt Professor Headed To Mystery Lovers Bookshop To Promote New Novel

OAKMONT, PA — University of Pittsburgh theater professor and author Kathleen George will be appearing at the Mystery Lovers Bookshop on Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. to promote her latest novel "Mirth."

George is the author of seven previous mystery novels including "The Odds," which was nominated for an Edgar Award for best novel by the Mystery Writers of America.

A description of the "Mirth" plot from Regal House Publishing:

"Mirth" chronicles the struggles of a writer, Harrison Mirth, a romantic man who writes about love and tries to find it through three marriages, in three cities, and always with renewable hope. Amanda is first—New York city and youth. Maggie is second and spans the middle age
years—Upstate New York. Liz is third—Pittsburgh and the senior years.

"Harrison Mirth doesn’t say much to Liz about life before her—a thoughtful comment here and there, funny stories, very little casting of blame. But like a quilt maker, Liz puts these scraps together to make a story—how she thinks he was—a boy, then a man sheltering a secret lake
of sadness, but somehow always upbeat, cheerful, a willful optimist, forever innocent. To her, that is irresistible. She wants him, all in all."
