Author Chris Stenson is coming to the Black Hills. Join Chris as he travels around the Black Hills as he celebrates his first novel Sins of the Mother. Sins of the Mother is a dark fantasy novel. A new Dark Age approaches. Evil walks unfettered between realities, no longer content in hiding in the shadows, feeding on the blood and the souls of the innocent. Three witches linked by blood and fate must close the door forever. Only one has the ability. The war for a young girl’s soul has begun. Sins of the Mother has reviews such as “once I started reading it I never put it down!!!” and “if you are looking for a witch story then add Sins of the Mother to your list”

At a young age, Chris had success winning young author contests, and his love for writing continued throughout high school and into adulthood. He is the founder and Executive Director of the Moorhead Friends Writing Group which has hosted nationally known authors as guest speakers.
