Meet Author Michael Hopkins

The Caramel Crisp Bookstore is honored to host award-winning author Michael Hopkins at Caramel Crisp Corner on Saturday, June 28th, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

 

Michael will be signing copies of his newly released book of short stories, Never Stop Exiting. Among the stories: an unhittable baseball pitcher, a young woman who wants to keep her amputated leg, a couple dealing with an Alzheimer's afflicted father, and the rocks speaking with one another when everything comes to an end. Michael Hopkins' dazzling mix of stories helps us see the world as if through beginner's eyes, a prism where the refractions usher in light and life.

 

Michael's short fiction has been published in Pleiades, Wisconsin People & Ideas, Moss Piglet, and elsewhere. He is the winner of the 2018 Wisconsin Academy of Science, Arts and Letters annual fiction contest. 

 

He lives on a small farm in Wisconsin.

Author Visit - Betsy Korbinyr

Meet Wisconsin Author Betsy Korbinyr at Caramel Crisp Corner, Thursday, June 26th, 5:30 to 6:30 pm. 

 

Betsy will be discussing her newly published book, Time, Beauty, and Grief: A Hike Through Wisconsin’s 50 State Parks. Part trail guide, part memoir, and part conversation on the adventure of becoming a senior citizen, Korbinyr’s engaging hiking essays offer fresh perspectives on aging and the search for integrity. 

 

This book, the first hiking guide to include all 50 parks, includes tips and information not only about the trails, but also about seeking beauty and developing resilience.

 

Betsy will have copies of her book on hand for signing and purchase. Don't miss this chance to meet and talk with her about this unique approach to encountering nature and experiencing the Wisconsin State Park system.
