A local author is going home to greet local students.

Julie Kramer will attend the Southland Elementary School annual Belgian Waffle Breakfast, which is from 8 to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25, in the Southland Elementary School gym, 201 First Street NE in Rose Creek.

Kramer is a Southland alumni and bestselling author of several books, including “Missing Mark,” “Killing Kate,” “Shunning Sarah,” “Silencing Sam” and “Stalking Susan.”

Many of her books follow the exploits of TV investigative reporter Riley Spartz and the dangers she finds throughout Minnesota.

In her most recent book “Delivering Death,” veteran reporter Spartz receives a mysterious package containing teeth. The mystery deepens once she discovers the teeth are from a person, and Spartz must navigate the world of white-collar crime and its blue-collar connections as she becomes part of a Minneapolis homicide investigation in which the killer seemingly wants the publicity.

Kramer will be available to sign copies of her book and greet old friends.

The cost for the waffle breakfast is $7 for adults, $4 for kindergartners through fifth-graders, and free children who are preschool age or younger. Takeout breakfast will also be available.
