Author participates in book-launch party
Author Pamela Skjolsvik will take part in the book-launch party for her book, Death Becomes Us, at 4 p.m. Nov. 13 at Pine River Public Library, 395 Bayfield Center Drive in Bayfield.
There will be a reading, snacks, question-and-answer session and door prizes.
Almost everyone fears death, but not everyone fears life. With crippling social anxiety, Skjolsvik feared both. But after an accidental call to a funeral home during her mid-life crisis trip to grad school, she reluctantly embarked on a journey to explore professions that dealt with death in order to come to terms with her own mortality.
Skjolsvik is an award-winning writer whose work has appeared in Creative Nonfiction, Witness, Ten Spurs, The Dallas Morning News Death Penalty Blog and in the book, Silence Kills: Speaking out and Saving Lives, published by Southern Methodist University.
