A great interview with Jerry Apps in the Chicago Tribune on his new book, “Garden Wisdom”
“When you’ve been gardening for six decades, you’re apt to discover a few things in between all the planting, weeding and watering — like the enchanting sound of bird song on a cool summer morning, a hawk gliding overhead in search of a midday meal, or the scent of freshly turned soil, which Jerry Apps describes as a pungent, powerful smell full of history and promise.”
Love fishing? Or a good fish tale? Check out the chapter excerpt from “Return to Wake Robin” posted on Wisconsin Outdoor Fun!
“They were men of mystery. And they held the secrets to the lake. They knew the shallows, the reed beds, and the cold, deep pockets of the depths.
They knew the sky, too. The feathery wisps of cirrus clouds, the billows of cumulonimbus, the slight changes in wind, and the meaning of it all.
And they knew their fish—crappie, walleye, bass, and musky— what lure to use and where to catch them. They were men of the water. They were the fishing guides.”
A wonderful interview with Marnie Mamminga, author of “Return to Wake Robin” from OnMilwaukee.com
“‘Return to Wake Robin’ is a family memoir and a celebration of youth spent in the idyllic Northwoods of Wisconsin, but Marnie Mamminga expands her reach and looks, too, at the golden age of Northwoods camps and cabins, through the story of Moody’s Camp, adjacent to the land where her grandparents built their cabin, which they dubbed Wake Robin.
The result is a nostalgic celebration of summer fun; one with depth and spirit that will draw you in.”
A great interview with Marnie Mamminga, author of “Return to Wake Robin,” from Sunday’s “Wisconsin State Journal”
“For generations, the inhabitants of a simple log cabin on Big Spider Lake have roused in the blue-black of predawn, gingerly navigated the squeaky screen door and stepped across a crackling carpet of pine needles to silently, reverently await the sun’s ascension through the trees.”
Watch this fabulous interview with Terese Allen about her new book, “The Flavor of Wisconsin for Kids.” She offers a peek into the great recipes and history behind the food of Wisconsin. And stay tuned for more details about the launch event at the Madison Children’s Museum coming up in June!

“Mamminga’s memoir will make readers wish for a cabin of their own to call home for a couple of months out of the year.”
Our brand new title, “Return to Wake Robin,” earned a *STARRED REVIEW* in Publishers Weekly!
“With liberal doses of gratitude, humor, and charming period details, Mamminga, a contributor to Jack Canfield’s Chicken Soup for the Soul series, recounts her family’s more than 60-year history vacationing on Big Spider Lake in Wisconsin’s Northwoods region.”

April showers bring May gardens! Another great review for “Garden Wisdom” by Jerry Apps!
“There’s a little extra plot of land near your house, and you can really dig it.
And you have, in fact. You’ve also tilled it, dragged it, weeded, watered, hoed and spaded it. You’ve measured, hilled and seeded that plot, too.”
