I’ve spent many years exploring the wilderness of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (U.P.), and one thing has become apparent: no matter what part in which you find yourself, fascinating sights are around every corner. More than 50 full color photos of Fayette Historic Townsite offer readers a step back in time to a nineteenth century company town. Two brothers learn of the apocalypse after being out of touch for a few days. Returning to town, they learn first-hand; the dead are coming back to life with a taste for flesh. With their parents in Nebraska, they must embark on a journey to rescue them as they set into motion their zombie apocalypse plan. When their children are kidnapped from the family castle, Adam and Anne Delaney race back to England from their vacation in France. Assuming their children will be held for ransom, the couple are ill-prepared for the truth about who has kidnapped their boys. Secrets of both of their families will be revealed as a result. Weird things are happening at camp. Long-time camp manager Mr. LaBoyer and his loyal group of hard-working, friendly cooks, lifeguards, and maintenance workers have been replaced by a bossy new manager and her less-than-welcoming staff. Marquette Trilogy spin-off. Depicts the influence one person has, even in death, upon others and explores the prisons of grief, loneliness, and fear created when people doubt their own worthiness. My Marquette is the result of its author’s lifelong love affair with his hometown. Join Tyler R. Tichelaar, seventh generation Marquette resident and author of The Marquette Trilogy, as he takes you on a tour of the history, people, and places of Marquette. Crashes, hot flashes, and more than one man overboard in an edgy page-turner with a nautical spine by a sailor and journalist who’s been there, done that. Humorous stories from author’s experiences at hunting camp Objects for sale in a pawn shop come to life at night to share their stories of who owned them and why they were pawned. This is a short fantasy rated PG-13. Samantha Ashford fell in love with Christian d’Angelo as a teenager, but he broke her heart when he sailed away from Wilkins Harbor on his parents’ yacht and never returned. Now fate has brought him back into her life—a successful billionaire with a yacht of his own. The book explores the 100 years of Michigan Tech hockey that have created many memories for teams, players, coaches, students, alumni, and the community who have followed the Huskies. Football is a special part of Michigan Tech history. Michigan Mining School students played local high school and community teams in the 1890s, but it was not until 1920 that a club team played another college when it scheduled two games against Northern State Normal (now Northern Michigan University). Adam and Anne Delaney visit France and discover their connection to the French fairy Melusine of Avalon and her role in King Arthur’s lineage. A small life can be transformed by a great love. This humble creature learns it’s the journey that matters. A humorous, tender, uplifting adventure. An outstanding book to read to children. Adults love it, too. Victoria Whitmore heads to Grand Hotel to collect payment for the furniture her father made. But Rand Bartlett, the hotel’s manager, poses an unexpected challenge. Gabby Daniels is running to escape from her dangerous ex boyfriend. She decides to make a fresh start in a remote town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan called Wilkins Harbor. Desperate for a job, she can’t believe her luck when the gorgeous Brandon Edwards offers her a position at his charming inn. Abby and her friends have graduated to junior high camp! Will camp and her friends help her get through her family’s crisis? Or will the problems at home put a damper on the summer camp fun? Rich and Judy Hill had a dream: to build a simple handcrafted log home in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. But what began as a grand adventure soon morphed into a complex entanglement of blueprint designs, contractor problems, and unforeseen financial expense. Twelve-year-old Emma’s life will be turned upside down in the summer of 1913 by a violent strike against the copper mining companies. Only the Finnish characteristic sisu will get her through it. Eighteen years have passed since Adam and Anne Delaney’s twin sons were kidnapped, ostensibly by one who wished them well. Now, after a string of useless clues and years of doubting their own sanity, the couple arrive in Istanbul where they have been told they will find the answers they seek…and hopefully the infant boys who—if even alive—would now be... The hardships, struggles, hopes and triumphs of the men and women who served in World War I and World War II is wonderfully captured in Letters From Heroes. John uses his teaching, coaching, and Army experiences to layout 21 leadership lessons that can be leveraged in everyday life so they can be made the priority in their time of need. Pirates, thieves, shipwrecks, sexy women, lost gold, and adventures on the Lake Superior frontier await you! In this book, you’ll sail on a ship full of gold, outwit deadly shapeshifters, battle frontier outlaws and even meet the mysterious agent that Andrew Jackson called "the meanest man" he ever knew.
