Tales from Gichi Gami is a myth-infused adventure trilogy set along the wild North Shore of Lake Superior, where ancient spirits still walk among the living and the land remembers everything. Blending contemporary life with Ojibwe cosmology, the series follows young protagonists who discover that the boundary between the modern world and the old stories is dangerously thin. As manitous stir, Windigos rise, and forgotten powers awaken, courage, attentiveness, and community become essential tools for survival. Grounded in place, culture, and respect for Indigenous knowledge, the series weaves suspense, humor, and wonder into stories about responsibility, identity, and belonging. Tales from Gichi Gami invites readers into a living landscape where the past speaks—and the future depends on who listens. Book 3 is coming soon.
