SUMMARY:MN Author Event: William Kent Krueger
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, August 28th at 12:00pm as we welcome back William Kent Krueger to Cherry Street Book for the MN Author Event. Highlighting on his book launch tour for “Apostle’s Cove” which is Book 21 in the Cork O’Connor Mystery Series! \nAbout the Author:\nRaised in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon\, William Kent Krueger briefly attended Stanford University—before being kicked out for radical activities. After that\, he logged timber\, worked construction\, tried his hand at freelance journalism\, and eventually ended up researching child development at the University of Minnesota. He currently makes his living as a full-time author. He’s been married for over 40 years to a marvelous woman who is a retired attorney. He makes his home in St. Paul\, a city he dearly loves. \nKrueger writes a mystery series set in the north woods of Minnesota. His protagonist is Cork O’Connor\, the former sheriff of Tamarack County and a man of mixed heritage—part Irish and part Ojibwe. His work has received a number of awards\, including the Minnesota Book Award\, the Loft-McKnight Fiction Award\, the Anthony Award\, the Barry Award\, the Dilys Award\, and the Friends of American Writers Prize. His last five novels were all New York Times bestsellers. \nOrdinary Grace\, his stand-alone novel published in 2013\, received the Edgar Award\, given by the Mystery Writers of America in recognition for the best novel published in that year. The companion novel\, This Tender Land\, was published in September 2019 and spent nearly six months on the New York Times bestseller list. His most recent stand-alone\, The River We Remember\, published in 2023\, was featured on many best-of-the-year lists\, as well as receiving an Edgar Award nomination for Best Novel.
