One County Read - Jeanne Cooney, Author
Redwood County libraries sponsored a One County Read. Jeanne Cooney, author of "A Potluck of Murder and Recipes," along with two previous books in the Hotdish Heaven Mystery series, came to the Wabasso Public Library to discuss her book and her life as a middle-aged female writer from rural Minnesota. She combines mystery, humor, and Minnesota hotdish in her series to offer a uniquely Minnesotan twist on the cozy mystery genre. Free copies of the book were procured for the general public to take and pass on to friends and fellow readers so as to generate a unified literary conversation across Redwood county.

Patrons will be entertained by a good book, a fun author, and a fun mystery. Patrons will have the chance to meet the author and learn about what inspired her writing. This is a chance for the community to come together and express their feelings towards the book and the recipes in the book. Anecdotal responses will be collected.
Patrons enjoyed the funny charisma of Jeanne. They were interested in hearing about what drove her to write stories, the disappointments she faced with her first book, and were able to test many of the recipes from her book first hand.
