Novak's Childhood Hometown Paper Publishes Story About Her Novel "Rare Birds" (Sept. 10)

When it comes to publicity, a tried and true method of securing coverage is pursuing stories in all of the places the author has connections. She lives in the Twin Cities now, but Kathleen Novak grew up on Minnesota's Iron Range, and that's where she set her latest book, Rare Birds. So, what better outlet to pursue a story in than The Hibbing Daily Tribune? The paper published the story, "Hibbing Native Writes About Childhood Neighborhood," in its Sept. 10 issue.

The early reviews for this title, which shares the stories of an eclectic group of neighboirs in a small Northern Minnesota town, have been very favorable. The Minneapolis Star Tribune says, "the several rare birds we meet along theway are impressionistic portraits of the community."
