Faith Sullivan, guest author

‘Book Ends’ is new event series at An Open Book

“Book Ends”, a new program connecting readers and writers, opens Saturday, November 12, at The Uptown in Wadena. According to An Open Book owner/operator Gillette Kempf, Minnesota authors are invited to talk about the writing process, discuss, read from their current publication and take questions from the audience. Books will also be for sale.

The events are free and will be held on the second Saturday of each month, beginning November 12, at 11 a.m.. Midwest Book Award winner Faith Sullivan will be discussing her novel “Good Night, Mr. Wodehouse”. 

“Faith has a large fan club in northern Minnesota,” said Kempf. “She visits often and loves the people and the place”.

“We’re blessed to have a large cadre of Minnesota authors to choose from,” said Jerry Mevissen, events coordinator. “We have Pulitzer Prize winners, National Book Award winners, Booker Prize winners, Newberry Award, Edgar Award - every award seems to have been won by a Minnesotan.”

Each monthly event is sponsored by a local business or organization. Faith is sponsored by Jackpine Writers’ Bloc of Park Rapids. Saturday December 10, will feature Betsy Nelson author of “Tasting Minnesota” and is sponsored by  Mason Brothers, of Wadena. “Tasting Minnesota” is the December/Christmas  event that will also feature local chef Amy Thielen and Prairie Bay Restaurant in Baxter, among others,” said Kempf. 

Other authors who’ve been invited include Mary Casanova (Frozen and Ice-Out), William Kent Kruger (Ordinary Grace), Kate DiCamillo (Raymie Nightengale), Candace Simar (Shelterbelts) and Will Weaver (The Survivors).
