Duane Schwartz

Duane Schwartz is a Minnesota novelist whose work is both setting inspired and character driven, providing a subtle combination that captures his audience in a way that places the reader in the story rather than in the role of spectator to the theme. He attributes this ability to a long life in business and sales where he has had ample opportunity to study others from all walks of life, an interest in history (nostalgia plays a large part in capturing the attention of his readers, most folks hungry for a fresh look at a simpler day), and the way the past seems to reveal itself to him as he studies old towns, deserted homesteads, farms, resorts, and the like.

Schwartz’s goal with regards to his writing is to introduce through his stories, the natural beauty that surrounds him in his native state, and give the world a fresh view of Minnesota’s iron ore country and its fascinating people and their varied histories.
