  • #118 Guest Authors Marjorie Mathison Hance & Darrell J. Pedersen
    Jan 17 2025
    WHAT IS IT ABOUT MINNESOTA'S LAKES, MYSTERIES, AND MEMORIES THAT LEAD TO GREAT STORIES? It's a Blue Cottage Agency Rendezvous with two Minnesota based writers! Hosts Jim Bell and Bobbi Jean Bell welcome authors MARJORIE MATHISON HANCE and DARRELL J. PEDERSON. Marjorie Mathison Hance is the author of the North Lakes Murder Mystery Series, including Murder at Pelican Lake, Cormorant in the Net, and The Man Three Cottages Down. The novels, all set in Minnesota’s northwestern lake country, were inspired by her time spent on Pelican Lake throughout her life, beginning in 1956 when she first learned to fish and waterski. Growing up she enjoyed reading and fell in love with mystery books after discovering Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden. We talk in great length with Marjorie about the first book in the series, Murder At Pelican Lake. Then author Darrell J. Pedersen joins Jim and Bobbi to chat about his memoirs set in Minnesota. Darrell has spent his life observing, listening, and embracing his time with friends, family, and his community. His perspective, guided by faith, compassion, empathy, and inquisitiveness, has molded his stories into playful and rich treasure chests of wisdom. These are engaging short stories you'll read again and again. His first book, Campfire In The Basement: Reflections From A North Woods Lake is followed by the companion title Who Will Carry The Fire? More Reflections For A North Woods Lake.
