The Books

Before the boutique, there were books. The MI Eye on the Thumb Trilogy — three volumes covering Grey Barns, Red Barns, and Shacks — gathers the foundational work of the archive in print. The same roads. The same light. Bound and carried.


Book One

The second chapter. Bold geometry, fire in the wood, and the barns that refused to disappear quietly.


Book Three

The final volume. Smaller structures, closer to the ground — the forgotten edges of the rural Thumb.


In the Room

A talk and a table. Forty minutes on the roads, the grey wood, and why the work began. Signed copies of the trilogy. A small print list for anyone who wants the wall as well as the page.

Libraries, historical societies, and church halls may write. There is no speaker fee required. The evening pays in books and in the work that follows them home.
