UP Notable Book Club: the
Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the
U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled
author events with winners of the UP Notable Book List.
The 10th event is with seventh-generation Marquette resident Tyler
R. Tichelaar who will present his award-winning
original history book Kawbawgam: The Chief, The Legend, The Man.
Tyler's meticulous research of original sources exposes decades of
embellishment and questionable reporting. The events are open to all
U.P. residents free of charge. Read my review of Tyler's book at The U.P. Book Review. 
Tyler R. Tichelaar has a
PhD in Literature from Western Michigan University and
Bachelor's and Master’s Degrees in English from Northern
Michigan University. He is the owner of Marquette Fiction,
his own publishing company, and of Superior Book
Productions, a professional editing, proofreading, and book
layout company. He is also the former president (2008-2019)
of the Upper Peninsula Publishers and Authors Association.
Tyler began writing his first novel at age sixteen in 1987.
In 2006, he published his first novel, Iron Pioneers:
The Marquette Trilogy, Book One. More than twenty
books have followed. In 2009, Tyler won first place in the
historical fiction category in the Reader Views Literary
Awards for his novel Narrow Lives. He has since
sponsored that contest, offering the Tyler R. Tichelaar
Award for Historical Fiction. In 2011, Tyler was awarded the
Marquette County Outstanding Writer Award, and the same
year, he received the Barb Kelly Award for Historical
Preservation for his efforts to promote Marquette's history.
While Tyler also writes on such diverse topics as
nineteenth-century Gothic fiction and Arthurian historical
fantasy, he remains engrossed in writing about Marquette and
Upper Michigan as microcosms for the greater American story.
He has many more books in the works. Visit Tyler at www.MarquetteFiction.com.
