Every year at the Twin Cities Book Festival, Rain Taxi begins the day with a meet-and-greet session honoring Minnesota authors who have published a book within the past year.  Since we can’t gather in person this year, the annual Mingle has been converted to a Mashup, inviting authors with new releases to film themselves describing their work in two minutes or less in a setting that means something to them.  RT then assembled their videos by genre into the montages HERE. (Available 10/15) Be warned, you will surely be charmed by one or more of these Minnesota writers! 

Shop the diverse talents of Minnesota writers at the below links.
