Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled author events with winners of the UP Notable Book List. The 24th event is with Carol Hare whose first book The Legend of Kitch-iti-kipi presents an Ojibwe legend with a family connection.  These events are open to all U.P. residents free of charge. \nWhen: Thursday\, December 8th\, 2022 at 7pm Eastern / 6pm Central\nWhere: on the Zoom platform — please contact Evelyn Gathu in advance by egathu@crystalfallslibrary.org\, or by phone (906) 875-3344. We recommend you borrow a copy of these books from your local library or purchase from your local bookseller in advance to get the most out of these events. \nCAROLE HARE graduated from high school in Manistique\, Michigan and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in business education from Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie\, Michigan. She taught school for three years in Monrovia\, Liberia\, West Africa. She later received her master’s degree in counseling from Northern Michigan University. Carole worked as a counselor for twenty-seven years\, twenty-three of those as a school counselor and teacher in Marquette Area Public Schools. After retiring\, she moved back to Manistique to live near her elder father. She currently is employed as a child and family counselor at the Manistique Tribal Center and spends much of her free time researching and learning more about her Native American ancestors. She has two successful adult sons\, two amazing daughters-in-law\, and five adorable grandchildren who reside in Seattle\, Washington\, and St. Petersburg\, Florida. \n“The Legend of Kitch-iti-kipi\, by Carole Lynn Hare\, is a retelling of the eponymous myth as passed down through generations of Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa (Ojibwe) Indian band.  The author\, whose Native American name is Miskwa Anang Kwe\, has an intimate connection to this legend.  Although packaged in a slim 24-page chapbook format\, The Legend of Kitch-iti-kipi tells a gripping story and includes several illustrations by Manistique-area artist Ryan Gilroy. \nKitch-iti-kipi is a natural\, spring-fed lake about 12 miles north of Manistique\, which is on the north shore of Lake Michigan. It also goes by names like “The Big Spring” or “Mirror of Heaven.”  Two hundred feet across\, the 40-foot deep Kitch-iti-kipi is Michigan’s largest freshwater spring; over 10\,000 gallons a minute gush from fissures in the underlying limestone. The flow continues throughout the year at a constant 45 degree Fahrenheit.\nThis book is a great introduction to tribal lore for anyone interested in the history of the Ojibwe people in the Upper Peninsula.  In particular\, I would recommend the booklet for classroom use in any unit on Native American history and culture. It is my hope that this reinvigorated edition of the legend will find a new generation of young people called forth to learn more about the culture\, whether or not it is their own heritage.” — Read the complete review at the U.P. Book Review. \nMore information about the U.P. Notable Book list\, U.P.

In a starred review\, Publishers Weekly calls The Wicked Sister “A devastating\, magic realism–dusted psychological thriller… Dionne paints a haunting portrait of a family hurtling toward the tragic destiny they can foresee but are powerless to stop\,” selecting it as one of the best books of the year. She comes by her knowledge of the U.P. wilderness by dint of her having built and lived in a cabin off-the-grid near St. Ignace for three years with her husband and infant daughter.\nKaren has been active in the writing community for over twenty years.

Prepare to be blown away!”–Wendy Walker\, bestselling author of The Night Before \n“Fresh\, truly original\, and utterly unpredictable\, Karen Dionne is at the top of her game with the gorgeously told The Wicked Sister.

Propulsive and terrifying to the very shocking end!”–Kate Moretti\, New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Year \nKaren Dionne does a masterful job of creating a mystery with plenty of twists…This is a must-read for mystery fans\, or anyone with an interest in UP Michigan.”–Faribault Daily News ” \nMore information about the U.P.

Notable Book Club - Great Lakes Monsters and Mysteries DESCRIPTION:UP Notable Book Club presents a Q&A session with Brad Blair & Tim Ellis\, authors of the award-winning  👽 “Great Lakes Monsters and Mysteries”\nDear Victor Volkman\n\nUP Notable Book Club:  the Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled author events with winners of the UP Notable Book List. The 22nd event is with Brad Blair & Tim Ellis whose Great Lakes Monsters and Mysteries continues their exploration of the bizarre and otherworldly in their latest book.

He has been featured in documentaries and numerous publications\, including USA Today\, The Detroit Free Press\, and Lake Superior Magazine.\n \nBRAD BLAIR is the co-host of Creaking Door Paranormal Radio\, veteran paranormal researcher and author.  In 1999 he founded the Upper Peninsula Paranormal Research Society with Tim Ellis and Steve LaPlaunt.  Brad has investigated claims of paranormal activity across the US and other Countries\, including England\, and Cuba. He has contributed to numerous books and documentaries on the paranormal\, has appeared in various publications\, and is co-founder of the Michigan Paranormal Convention. \n“In their latest book\, Ellis and Blair expand their area of interest\, stretching their paranormal research across the entire great lakes region\, and enveloping more than just ghosts and cryptids.  (A cryptid\, for those who don’t know\, is a creature for which there is no physical or scientific evidence\, but still has people who believe it exists. The most popular of these being the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot.) \n“They take an approach with this book that makes it stand out from others I’ve read in the same genre\, by mixing the historical research they’ve done with seemingly unbelievable tales.  I’ve lived my whole life here and never heard some of the stories\, which I really appreciated.  I like being able to learn a little bit about the actual history of the area while I’m trying to scare myself silly. \n“Did you know that there was a UFO sighting in the Upper Peninsula in 1953?  It is known in those circles as the Kinross Incident and was widely reported at the time.  Near Kinross Air Force Base in the Eastern U.P. something was seen in the sky and a fighter jet was scrambled to go find it.  The pilot and plane were never seen nor heard from again.  There are numerous sightings of ghost ships and haunted locations discussed in the book\, but each one is introduced with historical research in regards to what was claimed to have been seen.”\nRead the complete review by Brad Gischia at U.P.
