It will be an honor to appear on the same stage as renowned author Jerry Dennis as part of the National Writers Series in Traverse City on August 25 at 7 p.m. Jerry is a local favorite as well as nationally prominent for his perceptive and lyrical prose about fishing, nature in general and the Great Lakes. His latest is Up North in Michigan: A Portrait of Place in Four Seasons. I’ll be discussing my two recent books, Great Lakes for Sale and Half Wild: People, Dogs and Environmental Policy. More details to come.
