FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 7, 2010 -- Clues indicate that a dangerously charming author will be stealing the hearts of readers at Chicago's 2010 Printers Row Lit Fest. Each year a large crowd gathers at the Echelon Press tent to get the next book in Luisa Buehler's Grace Marsden Mystery series.

Fans can rejoice in knowing that Buehler will return to sign copies of the sixth installment, The Inn Keeper at the festival. Fans and readers can meet the author and find out what she has in store for book seven, at Booth "FF" this Saturday June 12 and Sunday, June13, 2010. Buehler will autograph books from her award-winning series on Saturday from 9am to 5pm. and will present a talk on Saturday in the tent at 3:00 on "Fact, Fiction or Fantasy: How Real Does Fiction Have to Be?"

Luisa Buehler has taken her main character, Grace Marsden on a series of misadventures that can only be described as harrowing. Readers have described the Italian Grace as both heartwarming and unique. Often referred to as "Monk in a skirt," Grace Marsden has uncovered a series of cold case mysteries, including The Rosary Bride, The Lion Tamer, The Station Master, The Scout Master, The Lighthouse Keeper and the most recent, The Inn Keeper, in which her adventures find her once again entangled in murder and mayhem. Most of the Marsden mysteries are Chicago-based, making them a favorite of Windy City readers.

"Luisa Buehler has been one of Echelon's brightest stars. Her fans are loyal to a fault and they multiply like rabbits. It's really no wonder though, that fans adore Luisa and her Grace Marsden characters. They are all overflowing with charm and excitement," says Echelon's President and CEO, Karen Syed.

A native of the Chicago area and owner of The Hire Solution, a staffing services corporation in Oakbrook Terrace, Luisa Buehler attended Rosary College during the '70s and graduated with a B.A. in English. Even then, stories of spirits, sightings, and the supernatural intrigued her.

With more than 20 years as a docent at Brookfield Zoo and many years as Boy Scout leader, she is finally taking the time to do what she loves. Buehler lives in Lisle, Illinois with her husband Gerry, and keeps her son Christopher's room ready for his trips home from college. She enjoys relaxing with Gerry and the family cat, Martin Marmalade, and loves to garden. She wishes she could play golf better.

Other Echelon authors readers will enjoy chatting and getting autographs from include Beth Solheim (AT WITT'S END), L.J. Sellers (SECRETS TO DIE FOR), Joel Fox (LINCOLN'S HAND), Margot Justes (A HOTEL IN PARIS), Marc Vun Kannon (A WARRIOR MADE), Anne Carter (CAPE SEDUCTION), and Chicago favorite Nero Wolfe author Robert Goldsborough (A PRESIDENT IN PERIL).
