Michigan Author Visits
by HOW Reynolds Twp Library 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

Hello, If you are looking for some interesting Michigan authors to have a program at your library, here are two wonderful suggestions. Author Ron Rademacher has written four books about all of the interesting places that you can visit in Michigan. The program he did for us was called Michigan Rediscovered and he took us on a road trip across the state! Very interesting! Check out his work on www.michiganbackroads.com. His programs cost $125 and you can reach him at ron(a)michiganbackroads.com. Author John Kozak has written about him and his familys experience living in and escaping from communist Czechoslovakia when he was a child. Through the Eyes of Rose is a great read and a wonderful program! He charges a tank of gas to come do a program and you can reach him at jkozakinc(a)aol.com.
