I’ll be reading from and signing my novel Windmill at Volume One in downtown Eau Claire on Thursday, Dec. 6, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. The book reading/signing is hosted by Volume One, the premier guide to entertainment and the arts in the Chippewa Valley; its newspaper offices, located at 205 N. Dewey St., boast an art gallery and store that sells all things “Eau Claire.” Windmill tells the story of Carl Steinar and his sons, Peter and Lyle, who for 15 years have maintained a tenuous balance to keep together their family and farm on Nebraska’s western plains. Like blades of a well-oiled windmill, each works in harmony with the other. But when Abbie Blaire, the new reporter in town comes to write a story about them, a monkey wrench is thrown into their perfect machine: She is the spitting image of the wife and mother the Steinar men lost years ago. They soon find themselves on new trajectories in which their needs and goals can only collide. I’ll read about a dozen pages from the collection. Books available for signing will on sale at the Volume One store.

The second book in my Hikes with Tykes series, Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities, is now for sale on Kindle. Listing more than 110 diversions – and the ebook version contains several more games and activities than the paperback released this summer – Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities provides anyone taking kids on a day hike with loads of tried and true amusements to keep children from getting unruly or bored. Topics include: activities to get kids excited about a day hike; crafts in which kids make their own hiking gear; recipes for healthy snacks on the trail; games that will help kids better understand and appreciate nature; and post-hike activities to keep kids excited about the sport. Culled from the experiences of fellow outdoor-minded parents, Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities is the most comprehensive collection of diversions available, with something for every age group and childhood interest. The ebook can be purchased online.
