Living in a region with four seasons has its benefits. Most people hunker down in the winter – unless they’re winter sports nuts. (Skiers and ice fishermen, I’m looking at you.) I spent the -40 degree days of winter of 2023-24 writing my third book, Medicine Creek Claim. It will be published in May 2024 if the stars align.
We’re moving into “Book Event Season,” when authors meet with readers at book fairs and speaking events. I’ve already presented two events, “Women Tamed the Frontier,” through the South Dakota Humanities Council’s Speakers Bureau.
I’ll discuss book #2, Lone Tree Claim, at the SD Ag Heritage Museum on Sunday, April 21 at 2 pm. That’s a “full circle” moment for this story since the inspiration for Lone Tree Claim came from an exhibit at the museum.
Then, I’ll pause until May, when I can introduce readers to Medicine Creek Claim.
