October Author in the Spotlight

October Hometown Track Author in the Spotlight.

Welcome to the Hometown Track meme where I highlight a different Minnesota author each month.

October is the season of scary stories, bonfires, cooler weather, apple orchards and hayrides.  I love October and you are going to love this month's author,  Lance Ward.  Lance Ward is a comic or graphic novelist and his autobiographical book, Kmart Shoes is sure to have you laughing and crying at the same time.

Here is the synopsis from Goodreads:
This is a true story of abandonment, abuse, mistakes, and redemption. 'Kmart Shoes" chronicles the early life of artist Lance Ward, creator of the graphic novel "Stovetop". As riveting as it is harrowing.

This month you can expect a book review, a contest, an author interview and a guest post.  You can visit Lance Ward at his website and he has just added a new comic today.  Go check it out at:
