Stockholm, WI

I'm goin' here all the time if I can!!!  Love this town with all my heart.  I will live here some day for a spell.  We were here Monday and ate at the Bogus Cafe, Greg and the kids rode bikes, I perused the shops and we found Auntie Mary and Uncle Jim!!  They love the town just as much.  I feel very happy here.  An artistic community with the kind of hospitality I love - no pretensions, no elitism, just great customer service!
I am coming to this if possible.  It is the day after the JJ Jubilee so it will be tough, but how cool! 
Aug. 13th & 14th, - Dog Days of Stockholm
- The purpose of Dog Days of Stockholm is to celebrate both writers and readers and the dogs that love them. Taking place during the dog days of summer-the perfect time to stretch out near the Mississippi and indulge oneself in reading a favorite book, the weekend will give readers a chance to talk to writers, writers a chance to meet other writers and learn a bit more about their craft, all the while extolling the virtues of a good dog. Celebrating dogs, Stockholm and words.

So that brings me to my favorite mystery author...

I love the setting, characters and plots,  She makes me want to live there and be Claire's friend.  Here is some background -
Point No Point
The seventh book in the Claire Watkins mystery series opens on a hot and sunny day with a body found floating on Lake Pepin. Deputy Sheriff Claire Watkins is faced with another difficult case when a friend of the family is suspected of killing his wife, a woman he had always seemed to love. Her investigation puts a great stress on her relationship with Rich. Things are further strained when the suspect attempts suicide, solidifying his guilt in Claire’s mind. But what if she’s wrong? What will people do for love?

Praise for Point No Point:
In her review of Point No Point, Star Tribune writer Judy Romanowich Smith states she'd like to have coffee with Claire Watkins, fictional Deputy Sheriff of Pepin County. She also writes that she has moved the Claire Watkins Series from have to read someday to "read-the-whole-series-right-now list."
