So, we might be celebrities. Here's a ditty of an article by local journalist, Ruth Nerhaugen, "Emerging artists, writers are in residence," published this week in the Red Wing Republican Eagle:
Seven emerging artists and writers from New York City and Minnesota will spend August at Anderson Center working on a wide variety of projects.
"This entire month is funded by a generous grant from the Jerome Foundation to support and further careers and artistic development," Director Robert Hedin said.
Thomas Malaskee from Mound[s] View, Minn., plans to work on a first draft of his novel, "The Assassination of May Claire," while in Red Wing. The tale originally was a short story about a time-traveling nun, but evolved into a novel set in a 1930s Minnesota convent.
Malaskee was cofounder of the Uptown Men's Creative Writing Group. He is a detail-oriented researcher with a passion for history--he was cultural historian at Historic Murphy's Landing in Shakopee, Minn., for several years--and has lectured on historical accuracy in literary fiction writing.
Well, thanks Ruth!
Write on, shine on,
Thomas.
