There are many excellent author appearances and book related events this month. Here is just a sampling of these events.
The Killers' Terms by Kevin Kluesner
Wisconsin author Kevin Kluesner will appear in conversation with Archer Parquette at Boswell Book Company on November 14 at 6:30 p.m. Kluesner will discuss The Killers’ Terms, the third installment in his thrilling Cole Huebsch mystery series. As a Milwaukee FBI agent, protagonist Cole Huebsch has already faced challenges in the first two books of the series, Killer Serman and Killer Speech, but nothing could have prepared him for the events of this new book. This time he has to cope with the brutal attack of the woman he loves, and while she fights for her life, he has to fight to bring those responsible to justice. It’s always fun to read books set in your own hometown, and Kluesner uses Milwaukee as a setting quite well. The Killer’s Terms will draw you in from page one, whether you’ve read the previous books or not.

Wisconsin Romance
To Sense a Passion by Audrey Lynden
If you prefer to warm up with a little Wisconsin-based romance, head to Boswell Book Company on November 15 at 6:30 p.m. when Audrey Lynden (pen name of Wisconsin author Tricia Quinnies) will appear in conversation with Jennifer Trethewey to talk about her newest novel, To Sense a Passion, the second book in her Reid Brothers series. If you are familiar with the quaint towns of Door County, you’ll love the setting of this novel in quiet Baileys Harbor. Lucy Maxwell has been helping her mother for years with her addictive behavior but now has chosen to make a new start by opening up a storefront for her online aromatherapy candle business in the small town of Baileys Harbor. Angus (Gus) Reid, a heartthrob TV star, has coincidentally returned to Baileys Harbor to aid his recovery from his own addictions away from Hollywood and ends up staying in the same rental house Lucy has been living in. Charmingly Lucy and Gus begin to grow closer, but you’ll have to read the novel to learn whether or not that’s enough for them to take a chance on one another.
