Gitchi Gumee by Anne Margaret Lewis and illustrated by Kathleen Chaney Fritz is a beautiful children's book with superb illustrations and a great story. Gitchi Gumee means "big water" and the book is about just that. A little boy lives on the Big Lake and is curious about sailing it, the story then proceeds to tell all about the people living around the lake, the ships on the lake, and the shipwrecks in the lake. The illustrations are eye catching and the story line will keep any child enthralled.
Sail over to Gitchi Gumee (you can actually page through the book on the site) or make for the Mackinac Island Press home page.

I have written a book about a dog that traveled with me for 16 years as an insurance appraiser. It tell of my upbringing with cars and dogs. It involves trips made to many west and northwest Michigan towns, beaches and backroads. It is about our relationship and adventures that sometime seem far fetched but are totally factual.
It is approx 30,000 words with many photos.
I have had it reviewed by several local readers who all found it remarkable.
I am currently looking at publishing options and was recommeded by Michael Sheehan to contact you.
I have the manuscript/ Preface for review if you would like to see the work. thanks
