  1. A Creative Thank-you Note

    October 28, 2022

    After returning home from a week of school appearances in Houghton, Painesdale, and Baraga, Michigan, (and spending an enjoyable evening at the Portage Library) I received a a package of thank-you notes from the students in the Jeffers Middle School. My favorite was from Lana, who used the cover of my novel, The Journal of Otto Peltonen, to inspire her art work!

    The Arrowhead Library system has invited me to speak at a number of area libraries this June. I’ll be sharing how my books explore the culture and the history of Northeastern Minnesota.
