I like my independence too, that’s why I’ve stepped up podcasting to the next level to promote independent authors like myself. Tyler Tichelaar, a recent author guest on the For the Love of Books Podcast said that his favorite moment in publishing happened after 15 years of rejection letters when he finally switched from traditional to self-publishing.
“I am going to make it happen myself,” he said.
So, did I and 99 percent of my author guests who are indie authors say the same thing.
“ Why should someone in New York City decide if I want to write fiction from Michigan?“





Tichelaar is a seventh-generation Marquette resident and writes fiction from Marquette about Marquette. Listen in to the podcast episode about the time-travel novel Odin’s Eye.

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.

In her children’s book Church Da Surfin’ Staffy, author Melinda Falgoust tells the story of a real-life therapy dog Chuch, whom she met while visiting her favorite island Maui.
“I saw a dog surfing on a surfboard with a young child,” she said in the podcast interview. “I followed the owner and asked if I could tell Church’s story.”

Once there was a tiny pup who needed a good home-born on Maui island where the ocean waters foam. When a lonely puppy named Church finds his “fur-ever” home on a surfboard with a man named James, life is pretty maika’i. But when the local surf pup earns his official service animal rating and works to help other people overcome their fears-it gets even better.

Sky gazing with special eyewear to watch the solar eclipse.
Although we are located 120 miles from the path of totality, I could see the partial solar eclipse with 94 percent sun coverage in West Michigan.
The feature photo was taken with an Android at 2:50 p.m. by Ludek’s co-worker. I didn’t have much luck with my iPhone or iPad even when I used a filter.
The eclipse was special because it fell on our daughter’s birthday and our name day according to the Czech calendar. I have a few fascinating stories about the Czech calendar. Subscribe to get access.
