Launch Event for Judith Brenner's "The Moments Between Dreams" Takes Place May 24

   The Moments Between Dreams by Minnesota author Judith Brenner ihas now been published by Greenleaf Book Group Press, and final preparations are underway for the official launch party. A review has just been published in the Pioneer Press and the MN Sun Current published a preview story of the hybrid author talk/launch event that takes place the evening of Tuesday, May 24.

   The in-person event is being held at Edina’s Senior Center in Edina, Minnesota. Doors open at 6 p.m. There will be a Q &A moderated by Maggie Taylor, a respected writer and realtor, and the author will do a reading. Minneapolis bookstore Magers & Quinn is handling the book sales. RSVP to attend here. Those unable to attend in person can participate in the event via ZOOM. 

   The Moments Between Dreams is set in the 1950s, but the characters deal with a lot of the same issues people are facing due to the worldwide pandemic today. The protagonist’s daughter is hospitalized in isolation with polio and her husband is about to head off to war, but before he leaves, his temper flares with an impulsive and dangerous need for control. Challenges escalate from there until the hopeful ending.
    RMA Publicity has also secured stories about the novel in the Duluth News Tribune, and on the podcast, Dialogue Between the Lines with Susan Wingate.  Plus, the Pioneer Press published a second story, an announcement about the coming title in its Spring Books column back in April.
