Thank you so much to all of you that have purchased my books and T-shirts over the years. It is with your support that I am able to continue posting on my website.

I mentioned a while ago that I was looking to explore beyond Michigan. I am exited and nervous to announce my new website www.LostintheStates.com.  I feel like I am biting off more that I can chew, but I had that same feeling about 10 years ago when I started Lost In Michigan. I still plan on posting daily to Lost In Michigan but figured it was time to start my new website since I have stories outside of the Great Lakes State that I want to share.

Thank you all so much for your support and kindness. It is a lot of fun posting my stories of Michigan and I am looking forward to sharing locations and stories from other states.

I hope you will check out and subscribe to Lost In the States. You can see it and learn more by clicking HERE

I have some presentations this winter to talk about Lost In Michigan and  the places I visited in my travels around the Great Lakes State. I hope you will be able to attend one of them. It is always nice to meet people in real life.

The first program is hosted by the Tyrone Township Historical Society and is a fund raiser for the “Move the Old Town House” A small donation at the door is appreciated to help the historical society move the old historic town hall to its new location.

January 29th from 2-4 pm

Please Note these events are held in Michigan during wintertime and who knows what the weather will be like or things may change because of covid. I will post a few days before each event to let you know they are still being held. Hopefully we will be able to do my presentations an you will be able to attend. I will have books for sale but If you already have a book and would like me to autograph it for you please bring them.

It’s a new year and I am not sure what it will bring, where I will go or what I will visit. I hope this year will be a prosperous one but only time will tell. One thing I am contemplating is expanding my travels outside of Michigan. I will always be doing posts around the Great Lakes state since it is my home but I am thinking about heading into Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and other states to see what interesting places I can find.

I hope you have a wonderful New Year and I wish you prosperity and happiness.

Thank you for Subscribing to Lost In Michigan, If you have not subscribed yet, It would mean a lot to me if you did. 

The earth has made another trip around the sun and another year has come to an end. It seems as if there is never enough time to travel to all the places I want to visit but I did take a Sheplers lighthouse tour and see some of the offshore lighthouses to check off my lighthouse list. I also made it to Mt. Arvon, the highest point in Michigan. I am thankful that you could follow my journey around the Great Lakes State and hope that you had a great year. The past few years have been challenging but I am going to stay hopeful and optimistic that things will get better.

I am excited to announce that my new book has just been released. Light From The Birdcage is a creative non-fiction story about a day in isolation at the Waugoshance Lighthouse that tells the history of this abandoned and forgotten beacon. It also includes stories about the history of lighthouses on the Great Lakes and some of the keepers and people who maintained them. This is a little different than my Lost In Michigan books but if you love lighthouses, or know someone who does, I hope you will check it out. They are available on Amazon HERE

If you want to read the first few chapters you can find a PDF file HERE

Thank you for taking the time to read my posts and purchasing my books. Your kindness and support really mean a lot to me. The money I make from my books fund my website and exploration of Michigan. I hope you enjoy my latest book and if you are wondering I am currently working on Volume 6 of Lost In Michigan and hope to have it released in the spring of 2022.

This is not my normal post but I wanted to let you know that Lost In Michigan Volume 1 is on sale at Amazon with an additional $1.95 off at checkout for a price of $11.04 You can order your copy, or one for a friend, HERE https://amzn.to/3lq1aGj

I am not sure how long it will be on sale for since I have no control over what Amazon does. ( I know it is not ideal but Amazon is what works well for me) If you want to purchase Lost In Michigan books from a local retailer you can find a list on my website HERE

Thank you all so much for your support and for taking the time to read my posts. I don’t like plugging my books but book sales are what helps me with expenses to keep posting on Lost In Michigan. I hope you enjoy reading my posts and I inspire you to get out and find new places to explore in the Great Lakes State.

Safe Travels,
