Background
Information
I was born in the Michigan U.P. and grew up with the Finns and Swedes who dominate the area. The Yooper series is a humorous romp through the backwoods of my childhood. Then I had an opportunity to write a mystery about a doll community and chose Phoenix as the setting after living there for several years.
