Researching, taking the pictures, writing and editing 100 Things to Do in the Upper Peninsula Before You Die, 100 Things to Do on Mackinac Island Before You Die and Secret Upper Peninsula: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure—well, that was only 99% of the fun.

The other 99% (I was never good at math) is attending book signings and gabbing with people about this part of the world.

I’m lining up appearances where I’ll talk about the cool things to do and places to go in the U.P.

I have a trivia contest and little prizes. Where possible, I’ll have snacks.

Can’t make an event? Click here for info on where you can find the books. 

PROMOTIONS FOR MY BOOKS
(all events are in Michigan; check periodically for updates and new events)

I love meeting and chatting with people at the book signings, like Mauri (left) and Garleen Uusitalo. He and I decided we’re related (we have the same nose and name!)
