Thinking about a cabin fever escape or summertime adventure? Start planning or dreaming now. 

My four books are for both the armchair traveler and those who want to hit the road to explore the Great Lakes State. You’ll discover hundreds of ideas of places to go, see and do featured in these pages!

Find my books at indie shops and online, or buy directly from me and have them autographed and personalized.

Hello: I’ve been asked whether it’s better for the author (bluntly, do I make more money) if you purchase a book from Amazon, etc., or a bookstore, or directly from me. Answer: directly from me. By a mile. Many miles. However, any sale, regardless of source, is much appreciated! 

The list or retail outlets below will be updated as I receive information on which stores are carrying my books about the Upper Peninsula, including Mackinac Island, and  my  latest, 100 Things to Do in Michigan Before You Die.

If you would like a copy of any (or all!) of the books signed by me, please send check to Lines & Letters Communications for the amount noted below, specify the name(s) and details if you’d like a special dedication and the mailing address.

Prices include state sales tax and postage:
100 Things to Do in Michigan: $26
100 Things to Do in the Upper Peninsula 2nd edition: $22
100 Things to Do on Mackinac Island 2nd edition: $22
Secret Upper Peninsula: $24
