Emma’s summer book tour 2026- Join me in Pure Michigan

It will be Pure Michigan fun as I tour the state with my new book The Quest for the Lost Town from the shores of Lake Michigan to Lake Superior.

I am looking forward to meeting up with thousands of fans at the local festivals and fairs.

New this year on the tour are: National Cherry Festival in downtown Traverse City on July 5 and the National Blueberry Festival in South Haven on Aug. 8-9.

I’m returning to Art in the Park in Grand Ledge rebranded as The Ledges in a new location at the Fitzgerald Park on Aug. 1.

A very special place in my heart is reserved for the Wild Blueberry Festival in Paradise on Aug. 14-16. It was one of my first festivals when I started touring with my book Secrets from the Shifting Sands Short Stories series in 2019.

The people in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan are very hospitable and friendly. I host many authors from the UP on my show For the Love of Books Podcast. They continue the tradition of celebrating the remoteness and wilderness in literature, and bringing to the public at large.

I’m grateful to the many people who have helped me on my author’s journey. I would like to thank graphic artist Jeanne Boss for the stunning art and the entire family for their support throughout the years.

My deep appreciation goes to my hometown newspaper The Lowell Ledger for continuing the publicity of my work. I love writing both fiction and non-fiction, not necessarily in all genres.

Since I am a lover of history I write mainly historical fiction and magic realism, as reflected in my short stories.

See you soon.
