Mystery novel writer Lyn Miller LaCoursiere
More than a year ago I conducted an interview with Minnesota mystery writer Lyn Miller LaCoursiere, and promised at that time to keep readers updated on her happenings and events.
Much has been taking place for Lyn since that interview, including
Here’s more about each of those happenings:
Their Majesties King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden. (Photo taken in 2010 on wedding day of Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, and Daniel Westling; photo credit Holger Motzkau.)
The royal visit to the Twin Cities area is in honor of the dedication of the American Swedish Institute’s new Nelson Cultural Center and other recent campus enhancements, and in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of Gustavus Adolphus College by Swedish immigrants in 1862.
The King and Queen will perform dedication duties at both locations, attend a number of services and functions, and participate in a momentous time of celebration of the links between Sweden and the United States.
The world's foremost classical-crossover quartet, Il Divo, will be performing on August 2.

I’m a bit of a political junkie who is following the GOP primary races with great interest. I would be doing the same regarding a Democratic primary if a search for a Democratic candidate were underway. Had I been voting in the South Carolina primary I would have been in the undecided category right up to the time for voting – this race has had so many twists and turns that it is not easy for me to be decisive about any one candidate.
This article is not an endorsement of Newt Gingrich, but is rather an observation about the outcome of the South Carolina race.
