Author Visit with Joanne Vruno

Join us to welcome JoAnne Vruno, author of the lovely novel, Loon Child.


Loon Child" came to me one night as I was watching the moon rise over a lake in Hayward, Wisconsin.  I was taking one of my first writing classes that emphasized writing about anything that caught your eye.  The night was completely calm. A lit path formed by the moon shined over the little ripples on the surface of the water.  Watching the reflection made me realize a fisherman needed to be introduced.  The character of Tom Jackson emerged. Trying to find his inner soul at the time the lake became a place of reprieve. A loon called at that moment and I knew it had to be brought into the story. Soon the story took life.  Realizing the loon needed some mystery, led me to Joseph.
