Media for Lake Erie Stories

Sometimes the reviews and interview requests come in fast and furious and other times it takes some time to build up media and buzz around a title. I’m happy to report that the media is starting to throw their support behind Lake Erie Stories by Chad Fraser, which takes the reader inside the personalities and events, from the earliest explorations of adventurers to the brazen rum-runners of the Prohibition era, that have shaped Lake Erie and the towns surrounding it.

First, radio personality Dick Williams’ review of Lake Erie Stories ran in the The Lake Erie Beaconon August 1st. Here’s a snippet from that review:

“Whether you are a boater, a student of history or simply looking for an engaging summer read, first-time author Chad Fraser’s Lake Erie Stories: Struggle and Survival on a Fresh Water Ocean  will more than intrigue and inform you … Fraser brings to life the ferocious Battle of Lake of Erie during the War of 1812, complete with broadsides of cannon-fire, toppling masts and dying sailors and puts you in the thick of the conflict … A fast-paced read, Lake Erie Stories  will lure you to revisit an old friend you may have taken for granted for far too long.”

This past weekend, saw Chad in Leamington, Ontario where he taped a half hour interview for the local program The Story Teller, which will air shortly. Check back here for updates as to the exact time and date. Yesterday saw Chad on CBC Windsor’s The Early Shift. And in about three weeks time on September 8th at 8:45am Chad will be on A Channel Morning in London, Ontario. Whew! When it rains it pours!
