The Minnesota Book Award finalists were announced on Jan. 25, and Evidence of V: A Novel in Fragments, Facts and Fictions by Minnesota author Sheila O'Connor is on the list. The book is recognized in the Novel & Short Story category.

Presentation and Signing Planned for Elliott Foster's Panic River on Feb. 12
Calumet Editions author Elliott Foster has a presentation and signing planned to promote Panic River, his latest book, at Moon Palace Books in Minneapolis. The event takes place on Wed., Feb. 12, beginning at 7 p.m.
Panic River is the fictional story of Corey Fischer, an almost forty-year-old gay man who experiences long-standing rejection by a homophobic father, a lack of support from his distant mother, and betrayal by the person who should be loving him the most—his partner, Nick.
The book has received several favorable reviews. San Francisco Book Review said, “This book was a fascinating read about love, tough love, and all of the complicated relationships that happen when a person decides to be him or herself. Well-written with all types of little life lessons thrown in, this book was engaging and entertaining. A book well worth reading, geared towards young adults to adults.”
Midwest Book Review said, "Novel readers who choose Panic River for its theme of a middle-aged gay man facing his demons and much-changed circumstances will uncover the roots of these connections and will learn how they evolve. They will find Panic River a powerfully evocative, thought-provoking consideration of how life moves on, how freedoms evaporate and re-form, and how one man makes difficult choices that bring him full circle in an unexpected way.”
Calumet Editions just released Panic River on Nov. 1, 2019. Learn more about the book at ElliottFoster.com.
