With a little encouragement from my friends in Southern Minnesota (the other God's Country)  I'm heading down to a great event at the Cannon River Winery in Cannon Falls, Minnesota.  While I'm not exactly a local author, I did hook up with their staff last year at the same event during a rousing 45th class re-union planning meeting.  They seem to like my children books and playing the part of a former Southern Minnie boy...well, I got invited this year.   Hope to see you there.   Here's their invite: We would like to promote Local Authors in Minnesota! Therefore, we've invited local authors to spend Saturday, February 8, 2014 from 12 to 5 pm at our Winery autographing and selling their books. 

Like wine? Like books? Then this event is the perfect fit for you! Combined with award-winning wine and great local books, our warm and friendly atmosphere is a fantastic way to spend a cold winter day.

This event is free and open to the public.

I'm now back to work after the Holidays and it finds me working on my 3rd and final children's story book about the six animals.  Here's a preview of one recently finished drawings for the book "Christmas Comes to Harvey and His Friends".   I hope to have it out early fall this 2014.  I better, because that is what I've told everyone!   This Friday..January 3rd,  my art group Studio 10 has a "Winter" show opening at Brigid's Pub...please join us from 4:30-6pm.  for some "art talk", a few snacks and see the pieces.
