Jeff Kramer, author of Mud Season, at The Shanty Tavern

Author Jeff Kramer, Nathan Hale High School alum, will be at The Shanty Tavern, 9002 Lake City Way NE, on Friday, June 6th, 6pm to 7:30 pm, for a chat and signing of his comedic novel "Mud Season.” Books will be available for purchase.

Mud Season tells the story of Woody Hackworth, a disgraced newspaper reporter and wannabe novelist. Resentful, bored, and looking for a way to get back at his ex-employer, Woody makes a fateful decision: to write an environmental thriller and post chapters online as he goes.
His novel-in-progress gains traction in the gossipy snow-belt city of Icarus, New York, but not for reasons Woody wanted. His readers believe Woody is using his fiction to expose his in-laws and their successful family-owned construction business.
With each new post, Woody's domestic discord grows, but how can he stop now? He's almost famous.
Mud Season merrily wallows in the classic conflict between ambition and family, digs into the murky perils of online notoriety, and slings a comic-tragic elegy to the daily newspaper.
