Good morning,
It’s 2 degrees where I live in Michigan, and I am staring out my window and feeling cold as I write to you. I figure your hearts will warm me, right?
I hope you were with family and friends during the holidays – making merry, hanging stockings and not each other 😊 Did I really say that? My family and I played games and laughed a lot. I enjoy both. Now it’s time to get back to work.
Yes, I am writing the sequel to
Red Jacket Angels,
although Heddi and a couple other characters are the only reason it’s a sequel. It does take place on the Keweenaw Peninsula again, during the prohibition Michigan enacted almost three years ahead of the nation. It caused some consternation among the Yoopers who simply didn’t want to be told what to do. The nerve, eh?
Lake Superior’s Arbutus tugboat misadventures due to prohibition is a remarkable story all by itself, and combined with the Iron River Rebellion, this book about writes itself. Just about. 1920 was a wonderful time to play in Michigan.
My sons think books write themselves, and I have nothing to do. So do my cats. A friend of mine thinks contemplating a plot line is enough to make it happen. Hmmm... 😉
I hope I spent some time with you at the shows last year, and we’ll do the same in 2025. I love talking with readers. You are smart people.
Go bravely into the new year and feel the warmth wrapping around you. Love to you all.
Your favorite author,
JuliAnne Sisung
