Author Dennis McKay will host a launch party for his new novel Once Upon Wisconsin on Thursday, March 4, 2010 at the Peacock Café. The event will include a book signing, happy hour, and a three-course dinner—and Half Pint Gentleman readers are invited.

McKay’s novel Once Upon Wisconsin describes in beautiful detail a man’s journey through love, loss, and rebirth. It has received acclaim from fellow authors and readers alike. "The dying art of scenic description is on shining display here. It's an adventure that kept me scooting forward to see where the road was going," said Peter Brown, author of Ruthie Black and Gone With the Gin.

The launch party will be held at Peacock Café, 3251 Prospect Street NW. It will begin with a happy hour and book signing at 6:00 p.m., followed by a $30 three-course, prix fixe dinner beginning around 7:30 p.m.

Your book purchase guarantees happy hour admission and/or dinner reservations for you and one guest. Tickets/books can be pre-purchased online.
