"Minnesota Author Dean Hovey visited with a couple of Mrs. Wilson's English classes in May. Dean shared his love of writing, how an idea for a story evolves into a book, and the role of the publisher throughout the development of a book. The students asked well thought out questions and enjoyed learning about the writing process. Thank you Dean!"
