How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Door County, Wisconsin, is known as The Cape Cod of the Midwest for good reason.  Our family has enjoyed summer escapes to the Door to take advantage of white sand beaches, charming fishing villages, and the sheer majestic beauty of Lake Michigan for over twenty years.  This Saturday, August 11, I have an opportunity to share my summer vacation memories of the Door on the syndicated Christian radio program The World and Everything In It.  Here in Peoria, the program airs at 9:06 a.m. on WPEO radio.  Check the TWE web site for program times in your area.  I’m excited for an opportunity to introduce others to this gentle vacation spot and the series of fictional love stories our trips inspired.  What better way to capture a vacation and take a slice of it home than to memorialize the setting and impressions in tender stories of love and resolution?  For a glimpse of the Door in pictures and reviews of the three books in the series, click on the Door County Love Stories page on the top menu.  Enjoy.  Summer goes quickly.
