Minnesota Book Awards
Is there another state blessed with such a diversity of great genre writers as Minnesota? It’s really an amazing list we have in this state. Of course, what is there to do in the winters but sit inside and think dark thoughts?
For me, I am so honored that THE VOICE INSIDE is a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award for Genre Fiction, along with books by Kelly Barnhill, Allen Eskens, and Mindy Mejia. It’s the fifth time I’ve been a finalist…wow! This recognition for THE VOICE INSIDE comes on the heels of nominations for my earlier books STRIPPED, THE BONE HOUSE, THE COLD NOWHERE, and SEASON OF FEAR.
So if you haven’t read THE VOICE INSIDE yet, this is the perfect time! (And the follow-up book THE CROOKED STREET arrives on Tuesday.) Then be sure to check out all of our great Minnesota writers.
Event Season Kicks Off
For better or worse, they’re letting me out in the world again. Lots of events coming up in January and February.
I’ve got bookstore launch events for THE CROOKED STREET in Duluth and Minneapolis, plus library visits to Eagle Bend, Sauk Centre, Big Lake, and Delano.
(All weather permitting, of course. It’s winter, don’t ya know…)

MARATHON: Plymouth Community Read
The Plymouth READS program in Plymouth, Minnesota, has selected Brian’s thriller MARATHON as its citywide community read for 2019. Visit the Plymouth READS website for more information about the wide-ranging community events this spring surrounding MARATHON — and then join Brian at the Plymouth Creek Center on April 11 for a discussion of the issues raised in this ripped-from-the-headlines novel. Brian will talk about the process that led to the creation of MARATHON and answer questions about the book.
If you’d like to select one of Brian’s novels for your local community-wide read program — and invite him to join the discussion — just contact Marcia Freeman for more information.
