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."
