L. Barnett Evans' One Act play, Take My Hand, enjoyed a successful run at the Indy Fringe Onyx Festival. Who knows where it will go from there. Meanwhile, Evans and Rhodes are scouting locations for other exciting adventures for the characters in our Grandmothers, Incorporated book series.
Recently,
we had the pleasure of visiting Mackinac Island in Michigan, a
picturesque island that can only be accessed by ferry or boats and on
which the only motor vehicles allowed are for emergencies. The major
transportation on the island is by horse drawn carriages, bicycles or
foot. It's quite a charming place and a perfect setting for our ladies
from. Grandmothers, Incorporated to relax and get into mischief.
The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island
The
Grand Hotel is a stately place for excitement to happen on the island.
Every year the hotel recruits employees from around the world to work
for this impressive hotel during the summer season. What an exciting
place this would make for cozy mystery mayhem.
In
doing our research regarding using this island as a possible backdrop
for our next Grandmothers, Incorporated adventure, we took a horse and
carriage tour of the island and the tour guide mentioned that there were
places on Mackinac that were haunted. Bingo! That stoked the
imaginations of Evans and Rhodes! Of course we went to the island
library to find out more about the spots that might be haunted on the island
and the librarians informed us that the whole darn island was haunted.
One of the librarians had even lived in one of the old haunted apartment
buildings!
What
more is there to be said? The ladies of Grandmothers, Incorporated more
than likely will end up invading Mackinac Island in the near future.
We just don't know when!
