MINNEAPOLIS (January 2, 2012)—Bloomington, Minn. resident and author, Susan Hira, will sign books at Valley Bookseller in Stillwater, Minn. on January 14, 2012 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity for young adult ski and snowboarding enthusiasts to meet the author of a new fiction novel which tells a mysterious story about the thrill and excitement of one of Minnesota’s greatest winter sports and a group of friends who love to hit the slopes.

“The Werwolf on Eagle’s Nest Mountain” (ISBN 1461169879) is available for sale at the book signing on Saturday, January 14, 2012 from 2:00-4:00p.m. at: Valley Bookseller, 217 North Main Street, Stillwater, MN 55082.

In “The Werwolf on Eagle’s Nest Mountain,” Susan Hira places the fictional daughter of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun high up in the mountains of a Minnesota ski resort. Written for middle school students to young adults, this fictional novel adds a dramatic twist on history. Like most young boys, main characters Nick, Jack and Mike want an out-of-control session at a large ski and snowboarding resort. But due to budget constraints, their ninth grade winter trip must be held at the dilapidated Eagle’s Nest Mountain Ski & Snowboard resort instead. While they prepare themselves for the three mundane lifts the resort boasts, they are surprised with an attack by someone in a snow camouflage suit. The book continues in a wild trail of twists and turns which continue to the last page. The kids must solve a dangerous WWII mystery on a school ski & snowboard trip—or their electrifying ride down the mountain will be their last!
