What is the aim or goal of your writing: "To research and write historically accurate histories of little known aspects of Upper Peninsula history." " I have been successful because I am creative about uncovering and pursuing new areas of research. The results provide me with a deep sense of accomplishment having developed a new bit of history which fits into the larger picture. Once I decide on a research topic, I become deeply involved with it, and I am able to work until the wee hours of the morning to complete the research and the writing of this new topic or theme."
