🌸✨Meet Janna Robinson- A M22 Associate🌸✨
This is Janna’s third year working at M22 and her favorite part of working there is the environment and that is what makes the place.
Her favorite place to grab a coffee before work is Leelanau Coffee Roasting where she orders an iced caramel latte. Janna says M22 is amazing and she hopes to welcome you soon!

What happened to Glen Arbor?!

While my next book sits in the company of my publisher, I am currently knee-deep in writing the next one. This novel continues the adventures of my protagonists you’ll soon meet, taking them to the rustic beauty of Glen Arbor, a quaint lakeside village in the northwest corner of Lower Michigan. A little town that apparently is no longer the best kept secret of vacationers looking for food, art and a short walk to the sands of Lake Michigan. I have always loved Glen Arbor … not too big, not too busy, and not overflowing with vacationers looking for Murdick’s fudge and mini-golf.

“Let’s have lunch in Glen Arbor,” I suggested to my husband after we finished our round of golf in Manistee. So, off we went, with me all excited to reconnect with this special little town. But wait … what happened to Glen Arbor?!

The quaint little village I remember has bloomed (I was going to say, exploded, but that’s sounds too negative) into an official tourist town, complete with wine tasting, high-end apparel boutiques selling high-end outdoor brands, several restaurants and art galleries, and an entertainment venue featuring food, adult beverages, live music, and a miniature golf course so cool that it made me want to fetch my putter from the car.

Before I freak you out into thinking Glen Arbor has sold out, let me assure you that it’s still a beautiful little town. It’s just getting a little bigger and that’s okay. Tourism is important for Michigan, and if families have a new reason for packing up the kids and dog into the Subaru, that’s a good thing. Fortunately, there’s still no Starbucks or Chick-fil-A anywhere in the vicinity. And yes, you can still buy a souvenir rubber tomahawk at The Totem store. Some things never change.

We’re keeping it local for the opening weekend of the Wine Patio with all Michigan made snacks and drinks. Stroll down t...
