Pigeon Falls selected for Larry Meiller’s WPR book club radio show

Jeff Elzinga’s Pigeon Falls has been selected as one of the six books for WPR’s Larry Meiller’s radio book club show, Thursday, June 18 edition. According to the WPR post about the event, the show host still finds it exciting, after nearly sixty years on the air, to discover new books. “That is one of the most fun parts of this job for me. I read something that I wouldn’t have read, and it’s like, ‘Wow,” Meiller said.

We agree. It’s easy to discover the latest NYT bestseller, but when you realize that indie book you took a chance on is just as good or better, it’s like finding a hidden gem.

Meiller encourages listeners to get copies of the featured books to read prior to the show so they can call in with questions for the author. ORDER PIGEON FALLS

“The Larry Meiller Show” airs weekdays at 11 a.m. on WPR News. Click on the photo below to go to WPR site for more information.

Newest acquisition: Pigeon Falls by Jeff Elzinga

We’re excited to announce we will publish Jeff Elzinga’s second novel, Pigeon Falls. Look for it in April 2025.

About the book

Pigeon Falls follows surveyor Tom Bishop and his small band of coworkers, a traveling crew of wind turbine builders, to an out-of-the-way corner of Wisconsin’s Driftless Area for one final project of the season before winter arrives. During their week amid this distinctive landscape, unforeseen challenges test the crew’s character and threaten to pry the team apart. Caught up in the ordeals are a pig farmer hell-bent on reversing generations of family failure, a young newly-wed resisting an abusive husband, and other local citizens living the quintessential life of folks in small-town America. Tom Bishop must also come to terms with his own undiagnosed health issues and whatever legacy a childless, divorced man can hope to leave behind someday. As Bishop says, after one particularly trying day, “The truest form of darkness, when you’re out in the middle of nowhere, is found not in the heavens but on earth.” In Pigeon Falls the disabling effects of hardship and greed are laid bare, yet in the end it is a story of solidarity, resilience, and hope.
