What an interesting way to spend a summer. Had you mentioned that 10 years ago when I was 20, I might have considered it! Hey, what time period is your novel set in? Good luck selling your work, the last hurdle for you. Dawn Attruia

Jack, Nope, not related to the Martins. Any relation I have to any Islanders would have to go all the way back to Ireland. :-)

Dawn, I'm still procrastinating (it's a skill) on summer vacation plans, will let you know.

Dawn,

As a matter of fact, I'm going to be there next week (week of Aug. 9th). Are you by chance already there, or will you be there next week?

Hi Kevin,

I've been in Michigan all summer. I have been to Beaver Island several times, absolutely loved it (minus the mosquitos), & didn't want to leave. The weekend of the 9th I will be down around Ann Arbor visiting family. So sorry to miss you! I'll be returning to Beaver Island the end of August to secure winter housing. I do have a backup in Traverse City, in case I don't. Not the same, I know. If you and your family are still there, great. If not, enjoy your time there. Take care...Dawn Attruia

Looks like my backup in Traverse City will have proved useful. I do like the area (Traverse City), yet after being on Beaver Island, there is no comparrison. I wish I had had more luck. Very disappointed....Dawn

Hi Dawn - we think we might have an idea for your dilemma but need to speak with you directly regarding your winter housing needs. How can we get in contact with you?
