Roscoe – This October 5, bestselling author Charles Marinaro will unveil his latest dark fantasy epic, Reign of Grandeur, in a unique book release event at the iconic Dundas Castle in Roscoe. 

The free event, set for Saturday, will take place from noon to 2 p.m.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their cameras, lawn chairs, and immerse themselves in the crisp fall air before winter arrives in Sullivan County. 

Whether you’re a fantasy fiction fan or simply seeking a relaxing afternoon in one of New York’s most picturesque settings, this event has something for everyone.

Guests will be treated to light refreshments, prize giveaways, and special gift bags for the first few attendees. The venue’s courtyard, typically closed to the public, will offer a rare glimpse into one of Sullivan County’s hidden treasures, making this event a must-attend for both literature and history enthusiasts alike.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the castle’s picturesque courtyard, this exclusive event is open to the public at no charge and promises an unforgettable afternoon of literary excitement and autumnal beauty.

The event will feature a brief reading from Reign of Grandeur by Marinaro, followed by a Q&A session where guests can dive deeper into the world of royalty, battles, and dragons that defines his latest work. 

Attendees will also have the chance to purchase signed copies of the book, making it a perfect keepsake or gift for fantasy lovers.

In addition to Marinaro, fellow authors Pedro Tweed and Andrew Matthews will also present their latest works, offering a diverse selection of storytelling for all guests to enjoy.

“I feel like this is the perfect time to embrace the fall season by hosting an event at the historical and beautiful Dundas Castle,” said Marinaro. 

“The view from the castle is truly breathtaking, and I hope the fall foliage will be in full bloom at the time of the event. The castle is the perfect backdrop for my book as we explore a world filled with royalty, kings, queens, battles, and dragons. 

Writing Reign of Grandeur was a chance for me to dig deep creatively and really go big—it’s bloody, unrelenting, and packed with drama and twists. I hope readers will enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed writing it.”
