My
birthday is coming up in less than two months, and the family is intent on
finding someplace fun to go to celebrate it. (Yes, it’s one of those big ones
we don’t like to talk about!)
They’re talking
beach…
Biking the desert…
Hiking a mountain…
But fall
in Minnesota is something to be experienced! The crisp air, colorful leaves on
the trees – or fluttering to the ground. Bonfires and marshmallows, long walks
in the woods, short days with plenty of time to read in the evening after the
sun disappears for the night.
If you’ve
never experienced fall (or summer or winter or spring) in Minnesota, I invite
you to do so soon. We have a beautiful state, and many romantic sites.
Speaking
of Minnesota romance, our multi-author anthology, Love in the Land of Lakes,
supports the Midwest Fiction Writers Sunshine Fund – money set aside to help
writers who need a little boost to help them succeed.
Minnesota
is the land of 10,000 lakes, and just as many love stories. Love in the Land of
Lakes brings you seventeen of these stories, from two childhood sweethearts
connecting on the end of a dock on a warm summer's evening, to a city boy's
chaotic weekend at his girlfriend's primitive cabin. We bring you the story of
a savvy horse who leads her owner to love in post–Civil War farm country, and
the haunting romance of an ageless gambler who inhabits a historic riverboat
and charms the boat's new owner.
A kaleidoscope
of sunshine, snowstorms, and thunderstorms grace our contemporary, mystery,
historical, and paranormal stories as the authors of Midwest Fiction Writers
spin lovely romances that will send you drifting into happily ever afters.
All
proceeds from this book will benefit Midwest Fiction Writers
http://www.midwestfiction.com/ in providing learning opportunities for writers
of all levels.

I can see why you might want to stay home for your birthday! The stories sound terrific, too!
Laura, I hail from Minnesota during my college years. One year, senior year at Faribault H.S., then on to college at St. Olaf in Northfield. Minnesota is definitely one of this Army brat's homes. Loved St. Olaf (including gorgeous fall weather/colors). Always a place in my heart for Minnesnowta :-) Your story premise is great. Good luck!
Happy birthday!
Michigan in the fall is glorious, too, so I know what you mean. Happy Birthday!
I've never been to Minnesota, but it does sound lovely! Best of luck with the book, and happy birthday in advance!
