Moderator: Kirstin Cronn-Mills and Rebecca Fjelland Davis
Writing, like life, is a series of fortunate and unfortunate events. Newbery Honor author Margi Preus will share a bit about the ups and downs of writing—and having three new books published—during a pandemic. On a more cheery subject, we’ll take a look at how some Minnesota authors are adapting their presentations for this new mostly digital world and discuss how authors and libraries can work together to reach readers, writers, and schools and classrooms in new ways.
Join Margi on a whirlwind blog tour featuring reviews, interviews, guest blog posts, and giveaways. Did we mention GIVEAWAYS!?
In case you missed part of the tour, here are some highlights:
Explore a lesser known part of WWII history Margi Preus on StoryMakers as they chat about her new book VILLAGE OF SCOUNDRELS, which is based on the true story of a village in France that sheltered Jewish children and teens from concentration camps.
In this episode, Margi asks the question, “When terrible wrongs happen in the world are we contributing to them if we do not speak out against them?”
Everything depends on a small, engraved silver box. If only Francie can follow its cryptic clues to the whereabouts of her missing mother she may finally understand the truth about who she really is. But one ominous clue after another reveal that Francie possesses something so rare and so valuable that some people are willing to do anything to get it. When her pursuit leads her into the snowy north woods, It is only to find out that she, herself, is being pursued.
