Writer's Corner

CARL BROOKINS is one of Minnesota’s senior novelists. Formerly a faculty member at Metropolitan State University, Carl is an avid sailor, and his novels not only take place on the seas, but he has also authored a series of thrillers. He is also the member of numerous crime writers groups, including Minnesota Mystery night, and Mystery Writers of America.

WILLIAM KENT KRUEGER, one of Minnesota’s pre-eminent writers, and a New York Times bestselling author of several books, has won a national Edward Award, among numerous awards and accomplishments. He is also the author of the popular Cork O’Connor mystery series, which now totals nineteen acclaimed books, plus five stand alone books, one of which will be published shortly.

Assembling a TV show requires a lot of work, as well as a financial involvement for a myriad of costs.

We are so pleased to announce that CALUMET EDITIONS, an Edina-based publisher of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, and HEIMIE’S HABERDASHERY of St. Paul, a one-stop shop for both men’s and women’s clothes of distinction, have come forward to sponsor WRITER’S CORNER, recognizing its value to the TV viewing public.

The program, only in its second month in May, 2023, is now airing in 35 cities in Minnesota on local public TV channels, on this website, as well as on YouTube.

CALUMET EDITIONS of Edina, MN, publishers of fiction, non-fiction and poetry since 2012, specializes in partnering with a large cadre of authors, and has introduced exciting new writers of all genres who have gone on to win awards in some of the most prestigious competitions.

HEIMIES HABERDASHERY of both St. Paul and Red Wing, specializes in full service tailored clothing for both men and women, not only from their own designers, but with partnerships from classical shops in Montreal and Italy, and features traditional classic attire.

Anthony Andler interviews Alan Miller re: “Holding Court”
 

Writers Corner launched its first TV program on April 28th, with novelists Christine Husom and David Housewright offering their talents to a successful start. The once-a-month half-hour presentation from the studios of Eagan TV will be available not only from this website, but to the 35 cities in Minnesota which are part of the “Access to Democracy” network.

Sitting in comfortable chairs, in front of an impressive green screen backdrop of a library, the two authors shared many thoughts, including the use of outlining — or not outlining — in the creation of their works.

DAVID HOUSEWRIGHT, author of numerous books including both the Rushmore MacKenzie and Holland Taylor thrillers, has been a recipient of the prestigious EDGAR AWARD, won three MN Book Awards, and served as President of the Private Eye Writers of America. Known for his gregarious nature and great sense of humor, Housewright did not disappoint. His newest title will release in May, 2023.

CHRISTINE HUSOM, winner of numerous writing awards and nominee for the MN Book Award, recently stepped down as a Wright County Commissioner after a decade of service. She served with the Wright County Sheriff’s Office, trained with the St. Paul Police, all of which served as background for her Winnebago County Mystery series, which launched in 2008, with “Murder in Winnebago County“. She is a member of Sisters in Crime and the Mystery Writers of America.

The show is hosted by Producer/Author Alan Miller (Holding Court) who is hard at work on his next novel, having taken Emeritus status from his long-running, award-winning TV series Access to Democracy.

The May program, which will tape on May 26th, will feature well-known Minnesota authors CARL BROOKINS and WILLIAM KENT KRUEGER.
