The Necessity of a Place

A New Project – The Necessity of a Place
Hey folks,
It’s been a while since the bike trip ended. I’ve been working on something new: a memoir about our family’s 25 years at a cottage in Northern Michigan.
Over the next few weeks I’ll post some sample chapters here. Building projects, lake neighbors, ice fishing, the characters we met, what the place came to mean. Different from the bike blog – accumulated stories, not daily entries.
If you like what you read and want to be a beta reader for the full manuscript (about 70,000 words), let me know in the comments or email me. I’m looking for honest feedback before I publish through Amazon KDP.
First sample will be up in a couple days.
Bob
