LEAVENWORTH — A challenge to write a book in 90 days at the Romance Writers of America conference inspired Deborah Swenson to complete the first draft of a debut novel
“Up in the land where Paul Bunyan statues are big and the tall tales about him are even bigger, lie some of Minnesota’s most beautiful resort communities. This is the land of 10,000 lakes and truly untouched wilderness surrounding Bemidji, Duluth, and Brainerd, among other towns, otherwise known as Minnesota’s Northwoods," the author describes her book.
Larson said she is thankful Soukup thought of her to have the opportunity to write her first book.
“Writing my first book and raising my first flock of chickens really helped me stay positive during the lockdowns,” Larson said. “I believe these opportunities also helped my husband through the year, he was my sidekick for a few trips. He s not a genuine MsStorian, but he fills in when my team is away.”
The author has been to many places in the Northwoods, so she already had information and photos of some of the places, and she visited other places for the book or did research or phone or email. Larson said there are 100 things to do in the book, but some places have more than one entry, such as wineries.
