If you’ve stayed at the Inn before, you’ve probably seen a painted fish or two. Maybe in your room—
Or on a West Kill Brewing beer can in the bar—
Or maybe even on ME—
You might have also read my novel THE FOUNTAIN and noticed that my main character Vera is an avid angler who knows an awful lot about fly fishing out here.
That is all because my husband Steven Weinberg is—to employ a verrry overused but I’m telling you totally appropriate word for this here— OBSESSED with fly fishing and painting the fish he’s caught. So much so that HE’S WRITTEN A WHOLE DANG BOOK ABOUT IT AND IT COMES OUT TODAY!!
Meet THE FLY FISHING BOOK: AN ARTFUL GUIDE TO ANGLING.
It’s a 200+ page, fully illustrated how-to guide for beginners and experts alike. Think gorgeous coffee table book stuffed with practical information that’s funny to boot.
Get it for someone you know who wants to get into fishing. Get it for your dad who’s already “obsessed”. Get it for your cute upstate cabin. Or your cute Queens apartment where you dream of having an upstate cabin! (Property management is overrated guys, just keep staying with us at the Spruceton Inn instead, haha!)
He’s going to be doing two fun events in NYC this week and next.
This Thursday, 5/7 he’s selling books AND special, limited edition fish-embroidered hats at Quaker Marine in Greenpoint:
And next Thursday, 5/14 he’ll be at Filson in Union Square with Trout Unlimited (and our pal Mike from West Kill Brewing) doing some live painting, signing books, slinging Brookie beers, and having a little Q & A.
Can’t make those but really want a signed copy? You can grab some from Rough Draft in Kingston right now! He’ll also have some signed copies at Books Are Magic, Community Bookstore, and Terrace in Brooklyn by the end of this week, plus WORD and many more by the end of next.
And yes, you better believe we’ll have signed copies for sale here at the Inn this summer and fall in Room Eleven our new little studio / hang-out / merch spot!
Btw, he’s got a few spots left in his WATERCOLOR WEEKEND workshop here at the Inn June 26th-28th— details and registration here!
Give Steven a follow on Substack and/or Instagram for all the updates on his books, fishing, painting, and more.
It’s a real book bonanza in our house right now. (I didn’t even tell you about the picture book Steven has coming out in June yet!!) And I’ve got three more events for THE FOUNTAIN this month:
THIS SATURDAY, May 9th / 7pm at Spotty Dog Books & Ales in Hudson.
Wed, May 27th / 6pm at Thunder Road Books in Spring Lake, NY for their bookclub
Thurs, May 28th / 7pm at River Road Books in Fair Haven, NJ
I’m also still hopping into folks’ books clubs via Zoom so if you’re interested, just hit me up here. It is SO MUCH FUN to chat alllll the spoilers with you book clubbers.
We’ve got a few rooms left for opening weekend and the one right after, and someone just had to cancel for 4th of July so we’ve got one room available then too!
See ya for some Catskills fun soooooon?
