Discovering Michigan County by County - Your A-Z Guide to Each of the 83 Counties in the Great Lake State; ,
- Review: article by Susan Bromley, The Citizen, Ortonville, MI. April 15, 2016
Michigan , Travel Adult , Children , Teen Holt, MI, Thunder Bay Press 2014
What is the aim or goal of your writing: As a former tour guide in the Lansing area, I used that experience to write a tour guide for the entire state, all 83 counties. If I was giving you a personal tour of any county, this is the information I would want you to have. I worked on the book on and off for nine years; I probably have 5,000-6,000 hours into research and writing, and I loved every minute of it. The book is successful because people love Michigan and it offers a little information on a wide variety of topics from A-Z.

May inquiries be sent to you about doing workshops, readings: Yes
I have three different presentation that I give based on the 83 counties, "Every County Has a Story," or "Michigan from A to Z."
