Minnesota mysteries with Christine Husom, formerly of the Wright Co Sheriff's office.

Christine Husom is a national best-selling author from Minnesota writing, you guessed it…Minnesota mysteries! She pens the suspenseful Winnebago County Mysteries and the cozy, but not too cozy, Snow Globe Shop Mysteries where bad guys demonstrate not everyone is “Minnesota Nice.” She also has stories in many anthologies.

Husom served with the Wright County Sheriff, is a member of Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime and is active with the Twin Cities chapter. She loves meeting readers at a variety of venues and events.

We talked about the journey from the sheriff’s office to becoming an author, people’s views of Minnesota, and more. Another fun books and brews interview!
