When it’s too cold to go outside … we write.‎ When the roads are covered with ice and snow … we write.‎ And when the sun sets at dinner time, and our evenings fill with stories … we write.‎ North Dakota is a haven for writers. The long, cold winters seem made to order for anyone who ‎likes to settle in for long periods of uninterrupted reading and writing. The state’s very climate ‎encourages us to share our stories. Which is why the Lake Region Writers’ Group has compiled this book.‎ Inside its pages, you’ll find dozens of stories, poems, essays and memoirs by a wide-ranging ‎group of talented North Dakota writers. You’ll read about Bob Carney, a true-to-life bachelor ‎farmer who saw visions of greatness in his frosted window panes. You’ll read about the very real ‎blizzard of 41, which killed 78 people. And you’ll read about families — and friendships — ‎made stronger by shared experience … ‎All in a season of writing on the prairie.‎...More >< Less
