Ristau Promotes "A Hero Dreams" in Southwest Florida

Mark Ristau, author of A Hero Dreams, is in Southwest Florida promoting the novel inspired by an incident that happened in Naples when he was just a child.... a near drowning in a backyard swimming pool.

A Hero Dreams is a work of visionary fiction that explores, through the eyes of a 10-year-old boy, the age-old problem of violence. Visionary, because the story challenges the reader to consider the possibility…the possibility of peace…of inner peace, peace within our neighborhoods and communities, and yes, even the possibility of global peace. It is Mark’s personal belief that the discord and violence will come to an end only when we embrace the simple truth that each of us is an integral part of an interconnected, interdependent whole.

On Fri., Mar. 2, Mark signed books at the Bed Bath & Beyond Farmers Market on Airport Pulling Road in Naples. He participated in a local author fair at the Barnes and Noble at the Waterside Shops in Naples on Feb. 24.

More information about the book can be found online at www.MarkRistau.com.

There may still be snow on the ground, but winter will be over soon; and with spring just around the corner, the Lake Home & Cabin Show attracted thousands to the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis the weekend of Feb. 23-25.

Among the presenters was Big Picture Press, which recently released Boathouses of Lake Minnetonka, a coffee-table book that includes the stories behind 35 of the more than 375 boathouses on the lake. The stories are accompanied by over 400 images taken by Karen Melvin, who is a local professional photographer specializing in architecture, interiors and lifestyle photography. Melvin says the boathouses selected to be included in the book are among the most unique and storied on the lake. They range from those dating back to the 1870’s to beautiful multi-level structures of recent design renovation. In addition to cataloging the lake’s most notable boathouses, Boathouses of Lake Minnetonka serves as a history book for the Lake Minnetonka region; and it includes recipes with ties to the lake.

Leading up to the show, the book was featured on KARE 11 Saturday on Feb. 24, and on the FOX 9 Morning News on Feb. 23. For more information, go to www.boathousesminnetonka.com.
