The First Copies of Carol Dines' "This Distance We Call Love" Have Rolled Off the Presses
Congratulations to Carol Dines, author of the short story collection, This Distance We Call Love. Her book releases in August 2021 and a box containing the first batch of books to roll off the presses just arrived.
Told through the voices of mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, children and friends, the stories take their title, This Distance We Call Love, from the interwoven themes of connection and disconnection. While some relationships fall apart, others remain entrenched in old patterns, grappling with notions of self and duty. Altogether, the 13 stories in the collection delve deep into our changing world, revealing how the internet, climate change, violence, illness, aging and work impact our families, marriages, and friendships.
A virtual launch event is planned for Aug. 4th. It will be hosted by Magers and Quinn in Minneapolis. Learn more about Carol's work at Caroldines.com.

Constitution Day Celebration at The Waters of Plymouth Featured in MN Sun Sailor Newspaper
It is estimated that about 16.5 percent of Minnesotans, or 868,361 people living in the state, are of Norwegian descent, including about 20 people who live at The Waters of Plymouth senior living community.
In their honor, and because there is a lot to celebrate these days with the pandemic finally under control, they held a party at the community on Constitution Day, which this year fell on May 17. Constitution Day or 'Syttende Mai' (simply meaning May Seventeenth), marks the day Norway declared itself independent of Sweden back in 1814.
The MN Sun Sailor newspaper published a story about the event in its May 27 edition.

"The Triple Play Twins" is Now Part of the Minnesota Twins' Reading is Powerful Program
RMA Publicity is excited to share that a book we help promote is now part of the Minnesota Twins' Reading is Powerful Program. On May 7, the Twins' mascot, T.C. Bear, and Chelsey Falzone from the Twins’ front office taped a reading of The Triple Play Twins by author David A. Kelly. The reading took place in Bat N Barrell, the bar and event space overlooking right field in the Twins Stadium.
The edited version of the reading, which includes an author statement, is now up on the Twins' website. In addition, the team has purchased hundreds of books, many of which will be given away to young Twins fans.
The first batch of books has already been given away to students in Indus, Minnesota, just outside International Falls. Here is a link to a story about the reading that has been published in the International Falls Journal.
The Triple Play Twins is the latest title in Random House’s Ballpark Mysteries series, which is for children ages 6 – 9. The book delivers a Minnesota baseball mystery with local connections and universal appeal. As main characters Kate and Mike try to discover who’s trying to derail the Twins’ chances of making the playoffs by causing trouble for the team’s star players, twin Twins Marco and Pedro, they come across everything from the St. Paul Saints pig mascot in a Prince outfit to Harmon Killebrew’s red stadium chair hanging above the log flume ride at the Mall of America, and a whole lot more.
About the Ballpark Mysteries series
Through the Ballpark Mysteries series, readers can travel by book to each MLB stadium to learn sports history, discover interesting baseball facts, and have an exciting sports adventure, regardless of when stadiums open again for fans. The books are a great way to keep baseball excitement alive. Before getting started on the 17th story in his Ballpark Mysteries series, author David A. Kelly spent time in the Twin Cities visiting all the sites mentioned in the book. He also did extensive research on the Twins.
