In 2024, I learned of an upcoming author talk held at a local mega-church near me. I eagerly and quickly read the first two books by Sara Brunsvold: The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip and The Divine Proverb of Streusel. The author talk was wonderful. I feel a real kinship with Sara because I was born and raised in small towns in Missouri and come from German heritage.
Tomorrow, Sara's 3rd book, The Atlas of Untold Stories, releases. I pre-ordered the book and received it on Thursday, along with the pre-order goodies. What could be better than a story about mothers and sisters and road trips aligned around books? When I first heard of the book, I wanted to take a road trip myself to visit the sites mentioned in this Midwest book. By pre-ordering through Baker Book House, I received a copy of a road trip itinerary for just such a trip. Hmm, now to find someone to road-trip with me (i.e. do all the driving).
In checking out Sara's website, I discovered a reader's/writer's event that sounds absolutely marvelous. I doubt I'll be able to attend (expense, uncertainty of life, travelling alone...), but I thought my blog readers might like to know about this event. Sara is one of the many authors who will be there. Read Write Rendezvous takes place in St. Louis, from November 7th to 8th, 2025. I am familiar with the names of a handful of writers who will be in attendance: Amanda Cox, Jaime Jo Wright, Joanna Davidson Politano, Pepper Basham, and Sara Brunsvold.
If you sign up to attend the Read Write Rendezvous, let me know! I'd love to hear all about it, even if I cannot attend this year myself. There's always next year, possibly...
