Lake Wobegon

What would Nancy Drew be like if she made a pilgrimage to Lake Wobegon?  I can imagine her, map in hand, trying to figure out which towns inspired Garrison Keillor when he created his fictional town of Lake Wobegon where "all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average."  My teenage sleuth, Nancy Keene, listens to A Prairie Home Companion with her father every Saturday night.  She talks him into taking a vacation to Minnesota.  He'd like to make a pilgrimage to the home town of Bob Dylan while there, but she has other plans when a "bachelor farmer" (last seen at the Chatterbox Cafe) goes missing and they becomes part of the search team.

My husband and I went on just such a pilgrimage to discover the towns that inspired Garrison's Lake Wobegon and pictures from our trip are included in this eBook.  Only $1.99.  Available at Amazon, iBooks, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, Kobo Books, Smashwords, and Scribd.

In Search of Lake Wobegon

My husband and I went on a pilgrimage to "Lake Wobegon" and visited many of the real places that inspired Garrison Keillor's make-believe town.  We even got a chance to meet him when he was coming out of a bookstore.  Here's a book, with pictures, of our experience.  It is told from the point of view of our teenage sleuth Nancy Keene.  A bachelor farmer goes missing and Nancy and her Dad are hot on the trail.

The Missing Bachelor Farmer: A Nancy Keene Mystery

The husband and wife writing team of Louise Hathaway are at it again in their latest homage to the Nancy Drew series. The opening scene of this book has Nancy Keene, a teenage sleuth, longing for the change in seasons since she and her father moved to Santa Ana, California from their home in upstate New York. She tries to prepare for an outside Halloween party in the 90 degree weather of Southern California, with ashes from a nearby brush fire raining down on her while she tries to paint headstones. She and father listen to “A Prairie Home Companion” that night, just as they do together every Saturday at 6:00 PM. Nancy talks her father into taking her on a pilgrimage to Minnesota in search of the fictional town of Lake Wobegon and they end up as members of a search party when a bachelor farmer goes missing. You don’t have to be a Nancy Drew fan to enjoy this book: it is also a travelogue that takes you on a tour of the Twin Cities’ landmarks and also the real towns that Garrison Keillor partly bases his “Lake Wobegon” upon.
