I have a novel coming out soon and my Lake Superior Tales is short story fiction. This is probably going to sound a little weird, but I either kill a character or blow something up within my story. When you begin to ask, How does this effect my characters? It usually opens a flood gate of directions for your surviving characters. How does it affect the world within the story? Boom, all the possibilities fly.(less)

A Place to Start

Since this is my first blog, I thought I would begin by giving some background on myself. I've been writing about Michigan's Upper Peninsula for about 40 years. I've worked as a freelance feature writer and journalist. I've written about the outdoors, travel, and history.
