Editor reading his new novel in Eau Claire
I’ll be
reading from and signing my novel 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.
: Having your book, business document or academic paper proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. I can provide that second eye.
