Especially for Michiganders

Monday, April 16th, 2012

Children’s book author Deborah Diesen has a blog, Jumping the Candlestick, on which she runs weekly profiles of Michigan or Michigan-related authors. Today, April 16, it’s my turn to talk about Dakota, Or What’s a Heaven For and about life in Michigan. Thanks, Debbie!

DAKOTA Skype

Friday, January 27th, 2012

I had the chance last night to Skype with a Fargo book club, and it was a real pleasure. Thanks for inviting me into your home, Michelle, and thanks to all the club members for the great reception you gave me and Dakota! I have visited with book clubs via Skype a couple of times now, and love how this allows an author and readers to connect. If your club is interested in a Skyping session, please get in touch.

2012 BookTalk at Bismarck State College

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

March is not when most folks choose to visit North Dakota. Go figure. I, however, am looking forward to a visit to Bismarck State College, March 1-4, 2012, as a Visiting Writer (with a reading/book signing at 7:30 p.m. at the Student Union on March 1). I was especially pleased to have Dakota, Or What’s a Heaven For selected for BSC’s 2012 BookTalk series, along with Willa Cather’s O Pioneers! and Will Weaver’s Red Earth, White Earth. I will be leading the discussion of Dakota on March 4, 1-3 p.m. at the BSC Library.
