Our Fall Book Signing featuring Minnesota authors will be
held on Saturday, September 8, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Three local authors and
one from central Minnesota will be signing copies of their most recent books.
They'll be available to talk with you about their work and any upcoming
projects they have planned. Margaret Olson Webster is a frequent contributor to
local publications, a storyteller, artist, and author of Are All the Heroes Gone? and A Funny
Thing Happened on the Way to the Cemetery. Among the topics she writes
about are Sámi and Finnish heritage in the Northland. Poet and activist Séamas
Cain last spoke to a library audience on St. Patrick's Day. He will have copies
of his avant-garde novel The Dangerous
Islands available. In July, Mr. Cain was a speaker at The International
Congress of Irish Studies at the University of California-Berkeley, where he
presented a paper titled "The New Wave of Innovative Writers in
Ireland." Carlton County historian, writer, and photographer Marlene
Wisuri presented a talk on early Cloquet photographer Octavie Morneau at the
library last winter. She is the co-author of Scott House Souvenirs (with Jim Sheetz) and most recently The Four Hills of Life: Ojibwe Wisdom
(with Thomas Peacock). St. Cloud mystery writer Jimmy Olsen's Poison Makers received a starred review
in the June 2011 issue of Library Journal.
His other off-beat stories include Things
in Ditches, chosen as a book of the month by The Mystery Bookstore in Los
Angeles. His latest adventure yarn, The
Hero of Blind Pig Island, was published in August. Stop for coffee and meet
the authors!
