A Night with the Novelists
Join us on Tuesday, October 1st from 6-7:30pm in the Saint Michael City Hall Chamber Room for a Friends of the Library sponsored author event, A Night with Novelists.
We are honored to have two local Minnesota authors, Gretchen Anthony and Joshua Moehling, with us for the evening. They will be taking part in an interview panel including the opportunity for the audience to ask questions. After the panel, the authors will have their books available for purchase and signings. We will also be holding drawings to win copies of their books, must be present to win.
GRETCHEN ANTHONY is the author of Tired Ladies Take a Stand, a book that the Minneapolis Star Tribune wrote “will almost certainly be snapped up by book clubs everywhere.” Her previous titles include The Book Haters’ Book Club, and Evergreen Tidings from the Baumgartners. Her novel The Kids Are Gonna Ask received the 2021 Alex Award from the American Library. She lives in Minneapolis with her family, where she stays on the hunt for a good story while listening to 70’s classic rock and scouting a great Manhattan.
JOSHUA MOEHLING is the author of the Ben Packard mysteries. His 2022 debut And There He Kept Her was a 2023 Lammy Award nominee for Best Mystery, selected as the best mystery June 2022 by both Apple and Amazon editors, and was Barnes and Noble’s Our Monthly Pick in January 2023. His second book, Where the Dead Sleep has been reviewed by the New York Times, The Associated Press and has also just been named a 2024 Lammy Award nominee for Best Mystery. Where the Dead Sleep was Target’s January 2024 Book Club selection and received high praise from William Kent Krueger, who says, “With Where the Dead Sleep, Joshua Moehling solidifies his place as one of the best new voices in the mystery genre.” Josh grew up as an Army brat and moved all over the US and Germany. After attending college in South Dakota and Mankato, MN he moved to Minneapolis and began a career in the medical device industry. His third novel in the Ben Packard mysteries, A Long Time Gone, will be released February 2025.
