A NOTE FROM LOREEN NIEWENHUIS, AUTHOR AND ADVENTURER: Please order my books directly from me at: https://www.laketrek.com/great-lakes-books/ And support your local indie bookstore: http://www.indiebound.org/indie-store-finder "Thank you!" Loreen Niewenhuis grew up in Michigan and has lived there most of her life. She pursued a life of science, getting a Bachelor, then Master of Science degrees. She worked in various aspects of that world including a hospital laboratory, basic animal research, and a bone marrow transplant group. While taking a break from this work to raise her sons, Loreen began writing fiction. This evolved into a passion and she returned to school to get her MFA from Spalding University. In 2009, her short story collection, SCAR TISSUE, was a finalist for the Flannery O'Connor Award. In 2009 she decided to explore Lake Michigan fully by walking around it. The fascinating account of her journey, A 1000-MILE WALK ON THE BEACH: ONE WOMAN'S TREK OF THE PERIMETER OF LAKE MICHIGAN, was a Heartland Indie Bestseller. Loreen's novella, ATLANTA, was released in June 2011 by Main Street Rag Publishing. In 2012, Loreen took another long walk, this time a 1000-mile hike touching all five Great Lakes. The book about this adventure -- and about the geology, hydrology and ecology of the Great Lakes is called: A 1000-MILE GREAT LAKES WALK. The final book in her Great Lakes Trilogy is A 1000-MILE GREAT LAKES ISLAND ADVENTURE. In it, Niewenhuis explores islands in each Great Lake. All books in her Great Lakes Trilogy are also available as audiobooks, or purchase here from author: https://www.laketrek.com/great-lakes-books/ Finally, her short story collection, Scar Tissue, is available as an eBook and audiobook. This collection was a finalist for the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction. Learn more about her and her work at: http://LakeTrek.com
