Author Kathy Emerson from Wilton, whose pen name is Kaitlyn Dunnett, recently received a little national publicity, thanks to Jimmy Fallon and the 'Tonight Show!'

Emerson told the Daily Bulldog, “I’m the Maine writer that you’ve heard the least about.” That has changed a bit now!

Jimmy Fallon periodically features a comedy segment called 'Do Not Read.' Emerson’s book, 'Ho-Ho-Homicide,' was recently featured. Fallon says of the book, “It’s got two things that everyone likes, Christmas...and murder!"

No publicity is bad publicity and, of course the segment was all done in fun. Of course, Emerson gets the last laugh as her 55th book goes to print this coming spring.
