Belated Thanks, New York

So grateful to the lovely Church of Saint Paul the Apostle's Fiction Book Club. Thank you all for making The Cana Mystery available to members and for calling it: a “great contemporary Catholic novel, the plot of which surrounds finding the lost jars of Cana—the very jars that Jesus used at the wedding at Cana—and a fascinating puzzle to be solved.” Book Club Meetings held at 405 West 59th Street, New York, NY, 10019.
