Author Jamie Stoudt is set to unveil his fifth novel, titled “I Took the Money,” at the inaugural North Dakota Book and Arts Festival on September 20, 2023. The event will take place at the Reiland Fine Arts Center on the campus of the University of Jamestown, where Stoudt will join numerous local authors and artists showcasing their works.
“I Took the Money” is an action/adventure novel that spans 328 pages and will be available in both hard cover and e-book formats. The book’s synopsis describes it as a “funny, charming, exciting, scary, and often mind-numbing” narrative centered on the character Leo Scanlan. In a series of self-created challenges, Scanlan’s journey involves high-stakes moments filled with flying pigs and bullets, explosive incidents, and well-fed sharks, all underscoring the book’s adventurous spirit.
The North Dakota Book and Arts Festival is a new initiative aimed at celebrating literary and artistic talent within the state. This year’s festival will feature a variety of activities and exhibitions, providing a platform for North Dakota’s creative community to connect with readers and art enthusiasts.
Stoudt encourages readers and fans to reach out via email at [email protected] or through his website for more information about his works. Additionally, all of his novels, including the latest release, are available on his website, Amazon, and at local retailers such as The Melted Crayon Gift Shop in Jamestown.
As Stoudt prepares for the festival, he looks forward to engaging with the audience and sharing his insights on the writing process. The event promises to be a vibrant gathering of storytellers and artists, marking a significant moment for the cultural landscape of North Dakota.
