Fr. Papandreou reminded the conference of the question which had bothered the ‘composer’ so much. ‘Had he been talking to Beethoven in heaven? If not, to whom was he talking?’

The western bishop could not contain himself any longer. ‘So now the walking dead are targeting the walking living and giving them ready-made symphonies announcing the end of the world, in this case written by Beethoven but not before he died. You must be joking! Where do you get this from? Even the inspector sounds now like he is losing it.’

All over the world people are buzzing about a symphony that seems divinely inspired. But even more intriguing is the statement made by the conductor that he didn’t use any music to direct the orchestra. Charged with investigating the mystery for the the Times newspaper, Inspector Michael Lewis travels across the world to engage in a summit discussion about the source of the mystical piece of music. Join author Dr. Erik Eriksson for a spiritual epiphany of historic proportions, and the profound impact of Beethoven’s Tenth Symphony.

Mary Ann Hutchison Author- MOOCHI’S MARIACHI’S, first novel

      Mary Ann Hutchison’s first novel, MOOCHI’S MARIACHI’S, was seven years in the writing.  Forged by their love of music and their dream, their teen friendship is tight.  If they work hard and save money, Moochi, Chico, Ladybug and Turo will be able to leave their small Arizona town and take part in the International Mariachi Conference in Tucson.  No worries, until the strength of their friendship is teasted and then shaken by unforeseen problems that shatter their security and trust, forcing them to deal with an intolerance they’ve never felt before.  The answers they need may lie in the dsert that surrounds their world and has always offered them peace as well as danger. 

       Look for both of them at the Festival of Books in March, as well as the other places that books and their writers hang around in.

      MUSICAL. Winner, Robert J. Pickering Award for Playwriting Excellence, 1987.   It’s 1933 and the music is hot and lively at Big Al’s, a Chicago funeral home, which serves as a front for an illegal speakeasy.   Here, the coffins are more likely to contain the inebriated rather than the deceased, and mob boss, Albertina (aka “Big Al”), is rolling in dough selling illegal whiskey to her faithful customers.   But the good times soon end for Big Al when a rival mob boss is found dead and mobster Rats Branigan sets his sights on taking over the speakeasy for his illegal gambling operation.   Then to make matters worse, Big Al discovers her daughter is secretly engaged to a cop—of all people!— and her right-hand man is in love with a runaway nun.   But nothing has prepared Big Al for the biggest surprise of all—the end of Prohibition!   This delightful musical features eight original songs, a strong ensemble cast, hilarious one-liners, and a genuine mystery for the audience to solve if they can stop laughing long enough to catch the clues.
