Owatonna Events this week I’ll be homeward bound in Owatonna for my next two stops in the Little Mountain, Big Trouble book launch tour. Coming up on Saturday, September 2, I’ll be at Little Professor Book Center on W. Park Square smack in the heart of downtown Owatonna. As a bonus, the Farmers’ Market will …
My summer season is now in full swing with two author gigs this week. One in Owatonna, the other in Northfield. Owatonna’s event is an “old friend”–Downtown Thursday. So relaxing and fun, it’s a great time to stroll Cedar Ave, do some shopping, some eating, some drinking, listen to some excellent music in Central Park, …

(I’ll probably change the top little script above “LITTLE.”) Little Mountain, Big Trouble is a labor of love that pays homage …
TOMORROW A new event for me tomorrow. The Springtime and Sunshine Festival at the Anoka County Fairgrounds on Saturday, May 13, 11-7. Most of the vendors will be indoors (including me in booth #67!), but some will be outside. Food, music, kids activities, dozens of artists and crafters, and maybe a few other authors besides …

Big Fun Next Weekend One of my favorite stops for promoting my books is at the Bowl For Kids’ Sake fundraiser hosted by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern MN. It’s very relaxed and fun and noisy. Watching the Littles and Bigs bowl is a blast. It’s also heartening to see so many businesses and …

Even though the Muir Library in Winnebago …
