DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe lighthouses of the Great Lakes, for so long guiding ships to safety across the rough waters, still stand as beacons to adventurous travelers. Rich with vintage and contemporary photographs, picturing the lighthouses inside and out, by day and by night, the book takes you into the fascinating history of the structures at Split Rock, Sandusky, Big Sable Point, Old Mackinac Point Light, and Marblehead Light, to name a few. Berger’s stories about keepers and their families, horrific storms, and even encounters with ghosts bring to vivid life the lost world of these historic lighthouses. A thoroughly engaging tour page by page, the book also makes travel to these destinations easy as well as edifying, with maps, directions, and a comprehensive appendix listing all the current lighthouses.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTravel Michigan’s coast—and into the state’s history—with otherworldly tales of the spirits of those who sought to keep its waters safe. Michigan has more lighthouses than any other state, with more than 120 dotting its expansive Great Lakes shoreline. Many of these lighthouses lay claim to haunted happenings. Former keepers like the cigar-smoking Captain Townshend at Seul Choix Point and prankster John Herman at Waugoshance Shoal near Mackinaw City maintain their watch long after death ended their duties. At White River Light Station in Whitehall, Sarah Robinson still keeps a clean and tidy house, and a mysterious young girl at the Marquette Harbor Lighthouse seeks out other children and female companions. Countless spirits remain between Whitefish Point and Point Iroquois in an area well known for its many tragic shipwrecks. Join author and Promote Michigan founder Dianna Stampfler as she recounts the tales from Michigan’s ghostly beacons. “Haunting tales of Michigan’s lighthouses . . . Her stories come from lighthouse museums, friends and family.”—Great Lakes Echo

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCharles Rough has written creatively for longer than he cares to remember. Most of his writing has been part of a lifelong quest (and passion) to find the perfect word, line, sentence, or paragraph in a poem, short story, novel, or historical account that best expresses the truth that he seeks to discover for himself, and to share with the reader. Most of the time, in his humble opinion, he has struck out, discarding much of what he’s written to his version of the literary-scrap heap—a voluminous old file that serves as a constant reminder of his own literary mortality. Occasionally, he hits one out of the ballpark, but he’s more than willing to leave it to the reader to determine if that’s true, or just a case of the author deluding himself at a ripening age. Rough lives in Northern California with Patty, the love of his life, and their four very spoiled dogs. Private Roads in Autumn is his first published book.
