This Friday I traveled to South Haven, Michigan, to visit one of my favorite indie bookstores

Black River Books.

  This bookstore carries mostly used books (a thoughtfully gathered selection), along with some new books.

Black River Books had plenty of copies of my three books (they still have a few signed copies in stock!)

  Then, I headed to the senior center to give my Lake Michigan presentation to the group there.

I was delighted to return to the senior center in Georgetown, Michigan (near Grand Rapids). 
They had me speak to their group in the spring about my Great Lakes Walk and they booked me again to give my Great Lakes Islands presentation.

The room fills up!

The group is engrossed with a video taken on Manitoulin Island

Many venues that have booked me in the past are booking me for return engagements.

I now have three presentations 

correlating with my books:

The first is about my hike all the way around 

Lake Michigan.

The second is about my hike touching 

all five Great Lakes.

And the third is about my adventure exploring

the islands of the Great Lakes.

I am now booking events for 2016.
