Wakefield Landing, Minnesota

Welcome to Wakefield Landing, a fictional industrial town on the Mississippi River—where legends linger, omens surface, and the river carries more than commerce downstream.

Created by multiple award-winning author, illustrator, and investigative storyteller Lisa Loucks-Christenson, Wakefield is part environmental saga, part light procedural, part small-town mystery, and part supernatural suspense. Beneath the town’s industries, courtrooms, family businesses, and tourist attractions runs another current: a history of secrets, warnings, disappearances, and truths that refuse to stay buried.

Follow Sheila Wakeman, Lara Smyth, Detective Tate Shepherd, Aurora Sky Bidwell, and the unforgettable forces gathered around C.C.’s Crab’s & More Empire as they navigate environmental conflicts, courtroom battles, romantic tension, old grievances, and a legend that may be becoming an omen.

In Wakefield Landing, the river watches.

The people remember.

And every visit changes the story.

Come to the river. Meet the people. Discover the legends. Visit C.C.’s Crab’s & More—if you dare.

You may arrive as a tourist, but you will leave changed.

Experience Wakefield Landing, Minnesota.
