For the Love of Books Podcast Authors Unbounded

In part one of The Sisters Three saga, Esme Halle thought she had finally found peace. Creating a life in Avalon on the continent of Mar, she had worked hard to distance herself from her sordid past in the neighboring Kingdom of Orion. So hard in fact that she could barely recall any memories of her previous life, and she preferred it this way. Now all of the secrets she had kept hidden so deeply even from herself, may be the only key to saving everything she holds dear. The sisters three, Esme's name for her mother and aunts, have brought the kingdom of Orion to its knees, information has grown scarce, and her dreams show her the past is the key to all.

“It's the perfect gift for Father's Day. Don’t give your father, The World’s Greatest Dad mug, or a barbecue apron. He doesn’t care. He needs something else to feed his brain,” Victor Volkman, senior editor at Modern History Press said in the newest episode of For the Love of Books Podcast on Thursday.

Give him U.P Reader Volume #8 instead. The hefty publication with a beautiful cover photo of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore between Munising and Grand Marais is filled with fiction and non-fiction stories, essays, poetry, memoirs, humor, and history.
It’s 181 pages long with historical archive photos and includes six stories from the winners of the annual Dandelion Cottage contest from all of the UP’s participating schools.
“It feels very solid and very significant,” said Volkman. “This is the biggest it’s going to get, ever. We’ve expanded it with the first, second, and third-place winners of the contest. Kids like to write long.”

In Odin's Eye: A Marquette Time Travel Novel “John” has a problem. He doesn’t know his real name. He doesn’t know where he’s from. He’s not even sure if he’s in the right time.
"He wants to wear a t-shirt and shorts," Tichelaar said in a recent podcast interview. "But they didn't wear that in the 1900s."
 

 
When John is found unconscious at the Huron Mountain Club and brought back to Marquette, Michigan to recuperate, everyone assures him it’s the year 1900, but somehow John’s memories of automobiles, televisions, and other modern devices seem to suggest he doesn’t belong in this time. Soon several people are trying to help John regain his memory from his teenage friend Hugh Allen to Marquette’s most prominent businessman, Peter White. But despite how many times John walks around Marquette, and no matter how many people he talks to, he can’t seem to remember anything and no one recognizes him. Then Hugh suggests John accompany him and his friend Howard Longyear on a canoe trip to the Huron Mountain Club. That way John can visit the place where he was found unconscious and see if it triggers his memory. Desperate for answers, John agrees to return there, but he is hardly prepared for what will happen next.
