Had a great time in Traverse City. The book signings went well and got to meet some great new people. Also ate at Franklin's in Downtown TC. It was an excellent food experience. It would have been nice if we could have hung around for the film festival which starts this weekend.

Instead I'll be heading for Marquette and then off to Copper Country and Calumet for a day. That should be fun. In the meantime, here in the Sault, the Rendezvous in the Sault takes place. It is an event not to be missed in my opinion. It's fun, educational and there are lots of explosions from cannons and muskets. This is THE weekend to come to Sault Ste. Marie. 

I want to make a couple of more comments about Traverse City. One of my observations while being there was how much fun everyone seemed to be having. On the beach, along the streets, everywhere is the sound of laughter and music. Street musicians abound, on the corners, in the underpasses, in the dim light of coffee shops. Old town Traverse has beautiful and well kept homes. Driving or walking the streets looking at the old homes is something I highly recommend. Spend some time in Traverse City, just for the fun of it.

I've been actively working on my next book about the Teddy Roosevelt libel trial that was held in Marquette, Michigan. It is supposed to be finished in September so it is occupying much of my down time. 

Please remember I have a book signing in Marquette at the Peter White Library on Thursday, July 24th at 7 pm. Come out and hear about Au Sable Point, it is an amazing place with a fascinating history. I'm also going to be at a book fest in Sault Ste Marie on September 20. Come and see me.
