Summer days are sneaking up on us....

We have so much to catch up on! Let’s start with the exciting news since the earliest snow piles began to melt and sunshine broke through in Northern Michigan:

The Purple Tree Books and Coffee in Cheboygan is now carrying Walloon Writers Review! We are so excited to welcome this delightful independent book store to our list of great bookstores you really have to visit and while there, be sure to pick up a copy of Walloon Writers Review. Purple Tree Books and Coffee is right downtown Cheboygan and has an amazing Michigan section just as you come in the door. The coffee and the welcome were terrific and there’s a great selection of books, gifts, muffins :) and journals.

Never quite able to leave a store without at least one book, I picked up a book about shipping on the great lakes. I’ll be ready on a warm beach-chair-day to pour through that! Visit Purple Tree as you explore the mighty northern Michigan this summer. I also took a few pictures along the Lake Huron shoreline which I posted last month.

Here is a current list of outstanding local booksellers who we hope you’ll visit and pick up a copy of Walloon Writers Review for the writer you know, the reader you love or as inspiration for a creative writer just graduating and something to take with them on their college journey away from the region! Reminders of home, great places, family and memories of the smell of the pines, the rush of the clear water, the sunshine and the snow:
