Sandy was invited to participate in this annual event to promote her debut novel TIMBER; Fire in the Pines. It's the eighth year of this fun event where writers gather to meet with store patrons to discuss and sell their books. We were pleased to be part of this unique event along with about 30 other authors including William Kent Krueger, Lorna Landvig and author friends Mary Donlon and Marilyn Rausch who just released their new book "Love can be Murder."
Sally Wizik Wills and A.L. (Sandy) Sanderson
Sister Wolf is a seasonal bookstore open for the summer tourist season near the Park Rapids area of Minnesota. Sally Wizik Wills is the owner of this cool little gem of a store. In an article I read about this interesting lady, she states "I'm a reader. Either you're a reader or you aren't. I are." Hurray for indie bookstores and hardworking booksellers! Sally also owns Beagle Books and Bindery in Park Rapids.
Dorset Store: Cabin built circa 1890's by a Swedish Lumberjack
Our recent trip to Dorset included a visit to this quaint little Stained Glass store. The lady that owns it is a talented artist who creates beautiful stained glass; Sandy bought a lovely piece there. Turns out this little cabin was built by a Swede back in the late 1800's who was also a lumberjack! Talk about coincidence. New book idea...Shades of Thor!
Shades of Weird!
Parked outside a Dorset restaurant, this dead animal adorns a motorcycle. Another interesting and weird tidbit--the mayor of Dorset is 4 years old.
Thanks for the great pics and stories!
