I will be one of five writers participating in Carnivals, Cowboys, and Clowns: A Winter Reading by the Fisher Cats, held from 3-4 p.m. at Amore Coffee, 879 Smith Ave. S. West St. Paul. I’ll be reading an excerpt from my book about the time my great-grandfather and members of a Montana Cowboy Band caused a ruckus at the State Capitol during the 1917 St. Paul Winter Carnival.

The event is free. I’ll be selling and signing books afterward.
