Norman Rockwell would have found no shortage of subjects for his paintings in any of the small communities in Presque Isle County. It is an idyllic region in Michigan's northeastern Lower Peninsula with more than 50 miles of Lake Huron shoreline, dozens of inland lakes and streams, and sprawling forests of pines and hardwoods. It was probably those attributes that attracted Native Americans to the region about 8,000 years ago. Shortly after the Civil War, the Indians were joined by throngs of European immigrants who found jobs in lumber camps and sawmills or homesteaded farms. The region's lumber boom was followed by a limestone boom in the early 20th century, and it created hundreds of jobs in the quarries and on ships that carried the stone to markets around the Great Lakes. The boom years are just a memory now, but the natural attributes of the county attract tourists and modern settlers seeking a more serene experience than can be found in the tourist meccas on Michigan's west coast.

There is a place where the creatures of nightmares exist. They have been spoken of and written about through time, myths and legends passed from generation to generation, their stories finding a nesting place in the minds of children. Sam Love is about to find them... and they are about to find him... and a jolly fat man in a red suit is watching on with interest. 35 years ago shadows drift across a midsummer festival in Hollow's End and a little girl disappears... 35 years later, Sam and his family move to a new life in the country village of Hollow's End. Initially the only place he feels comfortable is in a treehouse in an ancient oak tree outside his bedroom window. But nightmares start and Sam gets his first glimpse of the dangerous world he's about to be drawn into. He finds a comforting ear in his new neighbour, an old farmer called Bob, and the two begin to forge a friendship - but it guides him down less travelled woodland paths and into a world between night and day.

This book is about a young poor boy growing up during the Great Depression when organized crime was rampant, welfare didn't exist, food lines were commonplace, and hot tamales were available from a vendor on a modified bicycle, if you had the price. His mom, a widow since he was four years old, didn't have the price. Once a week, they had meat; it was sausage and what tasted like sawdust mixed in. He didn't like it, but he ate it because he was hungry. Sometimes, on Sundays, White Castle had hamburgers on sale, ten for a dollar. When his mom and his older half sister had a dollar, they ate like royalty. He could've eaten all ten by himself. When he was fifteen, he lied about his age and joined the US Navy and was never hungry again.

Out of the Blue is a historical action thriller set in the year 1812 and deals with the trials and tribulations of two prominent characters of that era, John Andrew, a local smuggler from Saltburn on the English Northeast coast and the French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who invaded Russia in the same year. The text also bounces back to modern times where Ryan Thompson, armed with nothing more than his memories of an action comic magazine from his youth, uncovers the secrets of times gone by with the assistance of his pretty guide, Victoria Dunn. After two hundred years, the truth is finally revealed.
