Local Author Susan Van Kirk has released her next book, “Mr. Vonnegut and Me and Other Incredible Tales from a Teaching Life,” which is a revised edition of her first book that includes updates of where those students are at in life now. With her eleventh book now published, Van Kirk shares her next project:
“I have a novella about my Detective TJ Sweeney called “The Locket.” My next project is to write two more novellas about TJ Sweeney and put all three of them together into a book. People want to know more about her because she is such an interesting character. She is a detective, she is biracial, and she is beautiful.”
Van Kirk has a lineup of upcoming book signings starting with this Saturday, May 9th at Security Savings Bank in Monmouth from 9 to 11:30 am, followed by Saturday, May 16th from noon to 2 pm at the Wordsmith Bookshoppe in Galesburg, Saturday, May 23rd at Market Alley Wines from noon to 2 pm, and Saturday, May 30th during the Buchanan Center for the Arts Artist Fair at the Monmouth American Legion from 1 to 5 pm.
