A Snowy, Brilliant, Book Launch!

A snowy April launch week!

What a fantastic beginning to my new book tour!

I had several appearances around the Traverse City area after formally launching the book at Brilliant Books.

Brilliant Books in Traverse City hosted the formal launch 

of A 1,000-MILE GREAT LAKES WALK 

Any writer appreciates the support of friends and family,  

and I have the best!

Beach at Empire

I took some time to walk the beach 

a bit along "my lake." 

The Glen Lake Library hosted me to give 

my Great Lakes lecture at the Empire Town Hall

Wild turkeys were on the move

Signing at The Cottage Book Shop
