An Evening of Books and Original Music

We are excited to host authors and musicians Debra Raye King and Thomas Wayne King for a fascinating evening of readings from their newest books, and for new songs from their unique, original studio albums of the Northland.
Debra Raye King is best known for her book “Gravedigger’s Daughter – Growing up Rural.” Thomas Wayne King has published numerous diverse books, and will read works from his newest Northland anthology of forests and farm “BOOTS BLOOMS BARKS & BAAAS!”

Debbi and Tom are writing more real-life Wisconsin stories from their years as shepherds, collaborating on “Love in the Time of Sheep.” Their primitive Sunny Cove Farm in northern Douglas County overlooks beautiful Lake Superior and Duluth-Superior harbors. Daily, their flock of tenacious Icelandic wool sheep offer many tales of joys and sorrows over 15 years so far, with more fun and experiences to come.
Tom and Debbi encourage us to “Create all you can, while you can! Every day is a gift and an adventure!”
