AJ Beauregard is the author of a new book, Fiddelee-dee & Company, a Fable for People of a Certain Age, a light fiction published by diomo square books.

Start with an aging cellist. Add a panoply of musicians: a pianist, violist, flutist, and one who plays the triangle. Stir in a combative mayor, a fair-minded librarian, upright citizens, and an unlikely plan to build a performance venue, and you have Fiddelee-dee & Company. Come to Elvira, a small town where nothing ever happens, and find out how Penelope’s Chamber Players turn the town into a buzz of infinite delight!
