The I-94 Murders book launch will occur in Brainerd, this Tuesday, October 16, 2018, at the Crossings Arts Alliance in Brainerd. Frank Weber will be signing and selling books from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Frank will speak on the writing of The I-94 Murders at 5:30, and you will have the opportunity to meet Publicist Krista Soukup of Blue Cottage Agency, Editor Tiffany Lundgren Madson, and book cover model Alicia Isom. The Crossing Arts Alliance is located at 711 Laurel St., Brainerd, Minnesota. Angel Seat Amber: The “angel seat” on a train is the raised observation seat up in the cupola of the caboose. From the angel’s seat, a conductor could watch the train, looking for hot boxes (overheated wheel bearings) or fires started by hot cinders flying out of the locomotive. It’s the highest seat on the train. Angel Seat Amber Ale will put you in the best seat in the house, too. Smooth, malty flavor and aroma, with a crisp, clean hoppy finish. Boom Lake Lager: A premium lager, using pilsner malt produced in Minnesota, balanced by American Crystal and German Northern Brewer hops. Crisp, light bodied, with a mild malt flavor and aroma. This is their #1 seller. Clock Tower Kölsch: The clock tower building in Brainerd looks out over the Northern Pacific rail yards, and has been a local landmark since it was first built in 1882. The tower has stood watch over the rise, decline, and rise again of the yards, including our humble efforts here at Roundhouse to bring this local landmark to life. Clock Tower Kölsch is a light, crisp, pale beer with slight fruity notes and a dry finish, perfect for a summer day. Cinder Dick IPA: No murder mystery could be complete without the presence of an investigator. A “Cinder Dick” is the railyard term for a police officer who works for the railroad. We needed to add an IPA among the smooth brews listed above which I think you’ll find pleasing. Witches Brew Limited Release: Our latest release of Old Betsy Brown Ale infused with apple and cinnamon. Your autumns will never be the same. Attendees will also have to opportunity to express their views on the potential front and back covers for the 3rd book in the series, Last Call. After my Minnesota presentations on Tuesday and Wednesday, I’m off to speak in Maryland at the end of the week.
I had the opportunity to speak with Ken and Cindy Kapsner at the Twin Cities Book Festival. We discussed how the book starts out with Buckman, current day. I forgot to point out there is reference to the old school Giadowski Brothers (4 hillbilly brothers who made moonshine) east of Buckman. They built a house with the ceiling 1 inch higher than the tallest brother (to avoid waste). They had the meanest dog alive and kept their money buried beneath the dog house. The only time they swore was when they were placed at St. Mary’s Villa in Pierz in their old age and were told they would have to shower once a week (which they felt was too often). There are many stories the old timers share about these infamous characters. Thank you for all of the support for my writing! I have been pleasantly surprised by the manner The I-94 Murders is flying off the shelves and by the flood of requests to speak on the book. It’s a reminder of how success occurs only with the kindness of others. Frank Frank had the opportunity to speak with and sign books for hundreds of mystery fans at the Twin Cities Book Festival held at the Minnesota State Fair grounds in St. Paul last weekend. Avery Jane was pleased with the performance of the Gophers against Ohio State this weekend!
