Mayor of the Universe and Best to Laugh, two of Lorna Landvik's novels, are available in Ebooks Minnesota. Landvik, who has published 11 books, is a local author, entertainer, playwright, actor, and all-around funny lady. Landvik grew up and still lives in Minnesota so it's not surprising that she was influenced early on by the Little House on the Prairie books. Harper Lee, Mark Twain, Flannery O’Conner, Michael Malone, and Ursula Hegi are just a few of her favorite writers.
Mayor of the Universe, a quirky and fun novel about a boring and bland actuary who finds himself amidst a sci-fi world he created as a boy. In the book "readers are treated to a remarkably lovely and sometimes-profound reflection of what it means to be human."
Best to Laugh, is a semi-autobiographical tale about a woman who follows her dreams to 1970's Hollywood. Using humor with a twist of poingancy and and quick-witted character banter, this book "is written with a light touch and quiet wisdom that have made Landvik's books so popular."
Landvik can be seen and heard all around the Twin Cities, including libraries, bookstores, country clubs, and churches. Check out her upcoming events and her Best to Laugh book trailers on YouTube!
