It’s here! My second book, Chicago Scavenger, is now available! You can order it at your local bookstore, Amazon, or directly from me.
Go on an interactive mission exploring 17 Chicago neighborhoods. Riddles and photos lead you to more than 300 Chicago hidden gems like historical sites, parks, museums, artworks, restaurants and more!
Make Connections
I had a blast writing these neighborhood tours and having an excuse to explore and eat my way across Chicago. My hope for the book is that it allows folks to connect with the city again while connecting with each other safely outdoors.
Team up with your family, challenge your friends, impress your visitors, or just go on a solo mission to uncover Chicago’s treasures! I cannot wait to hear how you use Chicago Scavenger and what you uncover.
Join the Hunt
If you’re the competitive type, join my contest tracking readers as they solve the Chicago Scavenger riddles. Take a photo at each location and win exclusive prizes!
Attend the Party
If you’re in Chicago, please join me at the Chicago Scavenger book launch party on May 21! We’ll be celebrating at Schuba’s Tavern from 1-4 p.m. In addition to the book signing, enjoy poets cranking out custom works for you and a raffle of fabulous prizes from the book.
I’m honored to take you on this tour of Chicago’s neighborhoods and so grateful for your support!
