  • Saturday, December 10 at 1:30pm. Join us and local author Bob McCurdy as he discusses and signs his new book Starting Over.

    A thrilling mystery set in Door County!

  • The novel’s protagonist is an ex-social worker who bailed out from his professional life and moved to Door County after his two grown sons are on their own. Andy begins pursuing woodcarving, purchases an old farmstead, and embarks on a romantic relationship with a former colleague, Stephanie Brandt, who is visiting the county. As the holidays approach a series of disturbing events begin occurring to Stephanie.

    Recently published, Starting Over is the first in a series of Andy McLeod mystery novels written by Baileys Harbor resident Bob McCurdy. Bob also operates his own gallery featuring his handmade wood carvings, Eden North, located in a rustic log cabin in downtown Baileys Harbor.

    Ongoing - 'Books for Soldiers' Donation Drive.

    Novel Ideas is shipping new and gently used books to our troops overseas.

    Novel Ideas is proud to announce our membership with 'Books for Soldiers'. First formed about 10 years ago by the Red Grail Church in North Carolina, Books for Soldiers is now a federally approved, nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting our soldiers in the military that are currently deployed outside the United States. Books for Soldiers receives no government support and very limited corporate support. It is primarily made possible through the generosity of its members.

    We are asking your help in supporting our troops overseas throughout the year by making a donation to help us ship out new or gently used books. Here's how you can help:

    • Bring in to Novel Ideas new or gently used books from the genres listed below to donate
    • Purchase new books from Novel Ideas at 10% off to donate
    • Donate money to be used for book purchases and postage costs. Your cash donation will be used to purchase additional books and help cover the high postage costs.

    Five (5) book genres are requested at this time:

    Mystery, Thrillers, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and current Best Sellers

    Please donate only these types of books that are new or gently used. Novel Ideas reserves the right to refuse your book donation.
