A new narrative sheds light on a lesser-known tale from the dark period of World War II, chronicling the efforts of the Danish populace in saving most of their Jewish community from the clutch of Nazi oppression. This gripping tale, ‘A Light In the Northern Sea’, explores how several Danish accomplices stealthily transported these oppressed individuals to the safety of Sweden onboard small ferries. This compelling story stems from the imaginative mind of an author based in St. Paul.
In addition to ‘A Light In the Northern Sea’, the Minnesota-based author is also known for his novel ‘Backwashed’, copies of which he has personally signed. This entrancing work of fiction adds another gratifying accomplishment to his growing compendium of published works.
Adding another feather to his literary cap, the St. Paul author is hosting ‘The New York Show’. This literary gathering invites poets to share their expressions influenced by ‘We Talked About New York’, his latest anthology of poetry. To add diversity to the event, special guests include writers Erica Christ and Clarence White, along with David Malcolm Scott, Scott Velsch, Julia Klatt Singer, Thomas Cassidy, and Joe Balonie.
While he is celebrated for authoring a successful series of nine thrillers with central protagonist Mitch Rapp, originally conceptualized by late Minnesotan writer Vince Flynn, a fresh direction is seen in his latest writing endeavor. Titled ‘Fade-In’, this international political thriller imprints a distinct mark indicating the start of a new series.
‘Fade-In’ introduces a former Navy SEAL in quite a predicament—wounded and captive within the sphere of dominating power brokers. Unexpectedly, an escape route is presented: a high-risk military mission, which marks a thrilling twist in the narrative.
The canvass of literature reveals another vibrant work in ‘Chasing Wildflowers: An Adventurous Guide to Minnesota’s Native Flowers In Their Unique Habitats’. This intriguing book is the collaborative effort of authors Phyllis Root and Kelly Povo, who engage readers into the captivating realm of native flora of Minnesota.
A Virginia-based bestselling author brings to the forefront ‘The Raven Boys’, marking the exciting starting point of The Raven Cycle series. The engrossing storyline has been carefully transformed into a new graphic novel rendition to attract a wider range of readers while captivating the existing followers of the series.
Kudos are in order for a poet from St. Paul, the recent recipient of the coveted 2025 Four Quartets prize. The award-winning creation, ‘Hold Everything’, is a captivating poem from his collection by the same name, published by a Minneapolis-based institution.
This prestigious accolade, carrying a generous cash award of $20,000, is a testament to the poet’s ability to portray multi-layered thoughts and emotions through his poem. Handed out by the T.S. Eliot Foundation and the Poetry Society of America, this award speaks highly of the distinction assigned to the artistic formation of a multi-part poem.
