Minnesota Crime Wave @ Your Library
"Minnesota Crime Wave," a dangerously humorous trio of prolific mystery authors from Minnesota, will speak at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 17, at Hedberg Public Library, 316 S. Main St., Janesville. Writers Carl "Sailor" Brookins, William Kent "Iceman" Krueger, and Ellen "Murder Most Fowl" Hart will appear in gangster costumes, present a panel discussion about mysteries, and answer questions from the audience about mysteries and mystery writing. The program is free and open to the public as part of the Nancy Parker Library Programs for Adults series funded by the Nancy B. Parker Endowment.
Among them, the authors have written 35 crime novels and received more than 23 national and regional awards. William Kent Krueger is the author of the Cork O'Connor mystery series set in the great Northwoods of Minnesota. His recent novels are Thunder Bay and Mercy Falls. His awards include the Minnesota Book Award, Friends of American Writers Prize, and Anthony Award for Best Novel.
Before he became a mystery writer and reviewer, Carl Brookins was a freelance photographer, public TV program director, cable TV administrator, and university counselor. He is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Private Eye Writers of America, and Sisters in Crime. With his wife and friends, he has sailed in many locations across the world. He writes a sailing adventure series featuring Michael Tanner and Mary Whitney and the Sean NMI Sean private investigator series.
Ellen Hart is a three-time winner of the Minnesota Book Award for Best Popular Fiction and five-time winner of the Lambda Literary Award for best lesbian mystery. For the last 11 years, she has taught an introductory mystery-writing course through The Loft Literary Center. Her newest novels are No Reservations Required, Night Vision, and The Mortal Groove.
