We attended an event at the Fargo Public Library today that featured William Kent Krueger as speaker. People kept on a’comin’ into that room and probably numbering close to 200. Krueger is an author of mysteries, mostly set on a Minnesota reservation, and we’ve just started reading his work, now owning the last two of them. Many of them center around his recurring character Cork O’Connor, a mixed-blood Irish and Ojibwe retired sheriff.
Krueger has written about 20 novels. We laughed when he talked about one of them and the wrangling it took to get it published that finally earned him, in his words, “a shitload” of money. Several of them have been on a New York Times bestseller and won prestigious awards from them. Check out his website for pictures and information. The Zandbroz store in Fargo sponsored his appearance and sold lots of his books at the rear of the room prior to Krueger talking.
