My first five arrive!

Linda’s Monthly Monday Morning Moaning’s:

Monday, 2 May 20022

A week ago I notices a small cardboard box sitting on my porch, now normally this is hardly an unusual occurrence at my house. But instead of the usual markings on the boxes, it said Arcadia! The box was small enough to tell me that my first five books (each author is given 5 books for free) were probably hidden in the wrapping!

With the book not being published until Monday 13th of June, it was surprising to received them so early. But to hold in my hand, the efforts of nearly a year of hard work and research is a wonderful feeling. I have loved lighthouses for a very long time, so this book has special meaning.

This is a 128 page book of vintage postcard pictures and captions describing the Lighthouses of the Great Lakes, encompassing the eight states that touch the lakes, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Is every Lighthouse on the Great Lakes part of the book, no. But through a lot of research I managed to finds the vintage postcards needed to represent many of the lights that had such importance to the navigation and maritime needs for the mariners that sailed these waters especially during the especially tough times at the start of the century.

Now the planning goes into an open house book launch on Sunday 12 June, 2022 from 1:00-4:00. We found a lovely little meeting house in a restored 1888 building in Armada to launch my fourth book from Arcadia Publishing, ‘Lighthouse and Lifesaving on the Great Lakes’.

‘We the People Meeting House, 23010 Main Street, Armada.

On that ‘wee note’ till next month Monday 6 June 2022.
