Inspirations, thoughts by Minnesota author and flight attendant
I’ve read that three hundred and fifty ships rest on the bottom of the Great Lakes, fifty in Minnesota. Unlike in southern climates where the bodies bloat and float, the waters of the Great Lakes remain cold enough year-round to keep its bodies in place, perhaps waiting for the ship to reach port. The myth says that the Witch of November creates such storms, waving her wand to spike fifteen-foot waves, twirling her body to rev up gale-force winds, and blinding the faces of sailors with lashing rain. As true of the other Great Lakes, Lake Superior is large enough to create its own weather system. Or is it created by the Witch of November? You might want to listen to the song about the Edmund Fitzgerald for answers.

I’ve just finished writing two new books, which is my explanation for not writing any recent blogs. I will not be immediately publishing them on Amazon, Smashwords, or Barnes and Noble, as I’m sending queries to agents first.
The first book is in the Lucy Ruediger Series, which you can find on my website, https://www.egnerink.com/lucy-ruediger-mystery-series/ It’s entitled “Outrageous Claims.” Police Detective Ruediger learns of a sudden wave of middle-management and mid-level executives losing their jobs. When it’s learned that an instigator is behind the dismissals, drastic means are taken to hush up the story. Drastic means? Are we talking murder? Oh, and money, lots of money.
My next is the second book in the Corky Allen newspaper reporter series. If you read “Scotoma,” https://www.amazon.com/Scotoma-Susan-Egner-ebook/dp/B00AF002YY/ref=sr_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=Susan+Egner&qid=1592508743&sr=8-12 you already know that Allen is always hot-on-the-trail to right wrongs when covering a news story. In this story, entitled “North Star Tribe,” she stumbles upon the disappearance of a child in Superior National Forest while covering another assignment, a story about the photography team called North Star Tribe. Ancient legends from Minnesota’s indigenous people come to life in the fears of the residents of Two Harbors, Minnesota–myths that involve Big Foot, the Witch of November, and the blood-thirsty Wendigo. And did I mention death masks and burial mounds?
I hope you’ll keep a lookout for these two books and also read my newest book published in February. “Capitol Gold,” is my latest book in the Souls on Board series. I hope you’ll take a look, as well as watch for the two others. And, as always, I’m grateful for your reviews.
