National Writers Series: Ellen Airgood

Ellen Airgood grew up on a farm in Michigan’s thumb. In her twenties, she moved to the Upper Peninsula and has lived there ever since, running a diner in Grand Marais with her husband. She’s written four books, including her latest, Tin Camp Road, which takes place in her adopted home of the U.P. Ellen appeared at a National Writers Series event that took place in March at the City Opera House in Traverse City. She spoke with teacher and columnist Susan Odgers.
