I mirrored this story after my own childhood experience. You see, I was indeed Rosalina Rabbit. Join Rosalina and her friends on her journey and see the happy ending. - J.M.D."

MBB: Joint Book Signing with Barbara Delaney & Russell Dunn

Barbara Delaney’s newest book, Follansbee Pond Secrets, follows Myrna Duffney, a hunting guide and schoolmarm and her interactions with the members of the ‘Philosophers Camp’ in the Adirondacks during the summer of 1858. Fred LeBrun of the Albany Times Union calls it a “terrific blend of solid history and a rollicking adventure.”

James Dunn recounts the sensational 1933 kidnapping of John O'Connell, Jr. in Albany.  Using declassified FBI files, newspaper accounts and family connections, Dunn reconstructs one of the most notorious crimes of the 20th century.
