We are so thrilled that Jamie Ford will join us for this year’s Opus & Olives. In preparation for the big event, we asked Jamie a couple questions to help fans get to know him better in this #opusexclusive.
Tell us something that people might not know about you.
In junior high I was kicked out of the school library for worshipping the devil. We were actually playing Dungeons & Dragons—but some concerned parents threatened to protest. Because that’s where you practice the dark arts, you know, at the library. Ironically, my first book, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, is now read in that school. I went back and gave a presentation. No parents complained this time.
Tell us what you love about libraries.
I’m a little biased here, because I met my wife at that hotbed of swinging-singles activity, known as…the public library. But I also grew up spending countless hours at a lovely Carnegie Library. Now I’m on the board of our local library foundation here in Great Falls. It’s like the mob, I just can’t get away.
Meet Jamie and the rest of our bestselling lineup in person on October 8 at the RiverCentre in downtown Saint Paul!
