THE INAUGURAL MINNESOTA MYSTERY NIGHT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS.
Some of the audience at MN Mystery NightWow, what a night. The food and service were fantastic. Thank you, Axels Restaurant in Mendota. The room was packed (SRO). The featured guest, bestselling author William Kent Kreuger, was his usual funny, witty, entertaining self. His fellow author and conversationalist, Carl Brookins, was equally delightful. They shared their writing wisdom, stories from their travels as two of the three members of Creme de la Crime (legendary MN author Ellen Hart was the third member of the group), and reminisced about their early days of breaking through as published authors.
Our first guest author, William Kent Krueger (L), in conversation with Carl BrookinsMinnesota Mystery Night is a monthly event featuring Minnesota mystery authors.
It happens on the third Monday of each month at 7:00 pm at Axels Restaurant in Mendota, MN. The event is free. Food and drink from Axels are optional and at your own expense. You’re cordially invited to join us in celebrating a Minnesota mystery author every month and learn about their books and life as an author.
Next month’s featured guest is NY Times bestselling author Matt Goldman, a Minnesota native who first achieved fame and success writing for “Seinfeld” and “Ellen” before turning to mystery writing. He’ll be in conversation with St. Paul Pioneer Press Book Editor Mary Ann Grossmann.
