July 20 & 21, I'll be part of the Literary Landing at the Minnesota River Arts Fair. We'll be giving readings, signing books, and just chatting it up with anyone and everyone who stops on by. It's located at The Landing in Shakopee, and goes from 10 - 5 both Saturday and Sunday. Erin Hart and Paddy O'Brien are the Keynote speakers. I'll be giving a talk/reading at 1:30 on Saturday and 1:00 on Sunday. Other authors there will be Pat Dennis, Jan Dunlap, Susan Koefod, Kathryn Sullivan, Evelyn Klein, Cristina Oxtra, Sheyna Galyan, Debbie Lampi, and Connie Claire Szarke. There will also be over fifty visual artists, music, and history! Should be fun.
