RED SHADOWS AT SAUGATUCK Darrell Henshaw hoped he was past it all. After all, no ghosts had visited him for years. Instead, he learns his five-year-old-son, Leo has inherited his “gift.” Now, they both can see ghosts. Upon his parents' insistence, Darrell agrees to drive his young family 800 miles to celebrate his Aunt Gertrude's 80th birthday. But, once in the resort town of Saugatuck, Michigan, their participation gets derailed by the spirit of a Native teen who went missing weeks earlier. When he and Leo inquire about the girl, the locals dismiss their concerns—"Those girls run away all the time.” Still, as questions pile up and threats grow, Darrell senses they may have stumbled onto something far worse and even more evil than one missing teen. Can Darrell continue to pursue justice for the girl if it places his wife and five-year-old son in danger? TOPICS OF CONVERSATION About Red Shadows at Saugatuck and the Haunted Shores Mystery Series – Randy shares how the series grew from a single novel into four books, with this latest installment focusing on Darrell, Erin, and their young son returning to Michigan. Family, Parenting, and Leo's Gift – The story highlights family relationships and parenting dilemmas as Leo, a precocious five-year-old who also sees ghosts, propels his father into solving the mystery of a missing teen. Setting and History in Saugatuck – The novel blends a richly detailed sense of place with the legend of the ghost town of Singapore, capturing the charm, beauty, and history of the Michigan lakeshore. Social Issues and Authenticity – Randy discusses weaving in the real crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), informed by conversations with tribal elders to ensure cultural respect and accuracy. Book Launch and What's Ahead – He reflects on the warm reception at the Saugatuck launch, shares how each book in the series stands alone, and talks about possible future entries alongside other projects.   ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Randy Overbeck is an award-winning educator, author, speaker and podcaster.

In this episode of End of the Road in Michigan, we take you back to the early 1900s, when Saugatuck transformed from a quiet lumber town into a vibrant summer retreat for Chicago's city dwellers. You'll hear how steamships, interurban trains, and hand-cranked ferries brought thousands to this lakeshore village.We revisit the days of the Big Pavilion, where electric lights lit up the harbor and music echoed across the water, and follow vacationers over Mt. Baldhead to the soft sands of Oval Beach.This episode also explores Saugatuck's artistic legacy, with the founding of the Ox-Bow Summer School of Painting, and uncovers local stories — including Prohibition-era intrigue and the town's growing reputation as a welcoming, creative community.It's a story of reinvention, leisure, and the rhythms of summer that still echo today.

We invite you to the first biannual Curiosity in Action: a conference for doing.What's a “Conference for Doing?” Well, it's exactly what it sounds like: taking the conference framework and making it actionable.Part of the aim in building a “conference for doing” is to offer all participants the opportunity to “try on” the ideas that are being shared by our presenters, so the day will follow an adult learning model that incorporates three elements: information, practice, and reflection. Each session will include all three pieces and they will repeat in this pattern:INFORMATION – Encouraging, thoughtful, and creative ideas will be shared by dynamic presenters during the large group sessionsPRACTICE – Immediately following each presentation, attendees will be invited to engage a personal practice that allows them to work with the content offered in the presentation. Prompts will be provided and attendees may engage them in any way that is most helpful to them – maybe you take a quick walk outdoors and think about the prompt, maybe you'd prefer to find a quiet place to be still, or maybe you borrow a friend for a brief chat. REFLECTION – All conference attendees will be divided into Reflection Groups that will gather after the brief “practice” time to continue their learning in community. Each reflection group will be facilitated by trained hosts who guide conversations and activities to help the group dig deeper into the “information” offered by the presenter(s).CURIOSITY IN ACTION- A CONFERENCE IN DOINGOverview, April 26, 2025, 9:00 am - 5:00 p @ Saugatuck Center for the ArtsCost | $125.  INFO + REGISTRATION: https://sc4a.org/SC4A Mission-the  SC4A is an arts center with a difference.
