Several of the poems and two of the stories in this book were previosuly published elsewhere.
It was sent off to press in the Summer of 2023 but the photos were not of good resolution, so my punlisher asked me to find better resolution photos. I haven't done much searching even yet--life keeps happening fast and getting in the way of my plans. I can barely remember the last day I ever did something I really really wanted to do for myself along the line of my book publications. I do write poems and stories in my journals now and then.
It is a small book of poems, beach and wetland photos, a young adult genre story that is half fiction and half creative non-fiction (because it contains elements of my family bio), and lake stories of creative non-fiction. Most the photos were taken by me with my phone cam and three of the photos were taken by a local photographer who remains anonymous. Some taken by my family members might not be available in more original resolution.
I hope you will enjoy my little book about life in a little lake town.
