Jeanne Cooney lives in Kennedy, MN. Her third book in the “Hot Dish Heaven Mystery” Series — A Potluck of Murder and Recipes — was recently published.

Jeanne has also been very active in Kennedy after moving there when she retired from the Department of Justice in the Twin Cities. Recently, she received a grant from the NWMAC to pay for a community mural painted by senior-citizen artists from around the area and for four art classes taught by those same senior-citizen artists.

A group of approximately six senior-citizen artists from around the area designed and painted a wall mural in Kennedy, with community volunteers–adults and teens– making this project a multi-generational, area-wide endeavor.
