Happy Mayday.

Today’s episode is especially close to my heart because I’m sharing the story behind my newest novel, The Quest for the Lost Town.

Sponsored by authors Emma Palova, Frank Demith, Moravian Sons Distillery and Doc Chavent.

The Quest for the Lost Town is the long-awaited sequel to The Lost Town and it dives deep into the story behind the lumbering town of Singapore, MI poised to rival Chicago and Milwaukee in 1837. But instead– Singapore disappeared in the aftermath of the Great Fire of Chicago.

 Much like the residents of Saugatuck, I still to this day believe that the town exists beneath the shifting sands on the shores of Lake Michigan. It was that belief that propelled me to pursue the sequel to a seemingly dead-end story with only protruding roofs as a clue.

“A whole town cannot disappear,” said a fan at the Grand Rapids Women’s Expo in 2023. “Sometimes we see protruding roofs from the sands.”
