--Book World in the Viking Plaza Mall is holding two book signing events with Minnesota authors in the next few days.

Jim Mohs, author of The Fed Man, will be at the store from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, September 1.

The novel, his first one, is about a young FBI agent whose life is changed when his wife and unborn child are killed in an automobile accident. He relocates to north central Minnesota where he is asked to help solve the murders of two teenagers. For more information, go to the website, www.jamesmohs.com.

Minnesota native Jayne Jones and University of Minnesota graduate Alicia Long will be signing their book, Capitol Hell, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 4. The two met while working on the Norm Coleman for Senate campaign and became fast friends.

The book is described as a saucy novel about crazy coworkers, high maintenance politicians and over-the-top entourages that can only be found inside the beltway. For more information, go to the website, www.capitolhellbook.com.
