Present and Planned "Bicycle
Tales" by R. A. Kirsch
1. Pine Woods -- the first tale centers around a sunken
schooner in Lake Michigan off the shore of Baileys Harbor,
Wisconsin. We meet Rich, Bill and Mickie along with Aralic
and Benowin. The adventure begins in "Pine Woods", a park
in Sheboygan, Wisconsin -- the real hometown of Mickie,
Bill and Rich.
2. The Big One -- a new adventure whose focus is an Irish
immigrant family. The father, Sean is employed by the
railroad. We learn about the early railroad in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin and, by accident a lot about Rich's Lionel train
set. -- Accepted for publication
on 08/26/08. Email

is currently available -- see links for
“PublishAmerica”.
3. Snow Fort -- the 1947 snow storm is the setting for the
third Bicycle Tale. Our story begins in Baileys Harbor,
Wisconsin in the dead of winter 2009.
4. Northpoint -- from this actual location on Sheboygan's
Lake Michigan shore, our reluctant heroes get involved in
making sure the disastrous Peshigo, Wisconsin fire was not
more of a calamity than it actually was.
5. Ten Cent Hot Dog -- what if Michelangelo never existed?
Find out in this latest adventure of our young friends:
Bill, Mickie and Rich.
6. Lead Soldiers -- A story about Camp Randall -- currently
the home of the Wisconsin Badger Football team, but
originally a civil war encampment.
