Hello, Mary.
Thank you for your interest. "A Sideshow Journey" is in print as of May. (It was released a few weeks ago.) It can be ordered through Barnes and Noble, synergy-books.com and other bookstores. It's also on Kindle and will be on Nook later this week. I'm doing a book signing at a JFK (Taylor) Alumni picnic at Papp Park, 2pm this Saturday. I'll also be meeting with a few people at the Downriver Cruise at 10 am and will have books with me. I'm doing book signings all over west Michigan and hope to get into the Allen Park Barnes and Noble, so the more people who request my books, the better the negotiations will go. I'd be happy to sign a copy of this story or my first book, "Lizzie's Blue Ridge Memories" if you come to one of my meet-and-greet events. Have an awesome day! Honk if you see my car and ad this weekend. On Facebook "Liesa Swejkoski Author of A Sideshow Journey"

I would take the Tata's Task Force (18 of us) for a glass of wine or a fabulous martini at Belicoso Cafe! The perfect thank you for their generosity in volunteering their time and talent to do something GREAT for Downtown Wyandotte!
Patty O'Donnell June 27, 2012 at 08:21 pm
Family dinner on the deck at Portofino. Best way to spend a summer evening!
Liesa June 27, 2012 at 08:22 pm
PS "A Sideshow Journey" is for adult readers. The content of performers in the freakshow and the rough life Calli Tiller had in Detroit and Las Vegas may be too disturbing for young readers. "Lizzie's Blue Ridge Memories" is for young readers and older. It's illustrated by Disney's Jared Beckstrand.
Danielle Main June 27, 2012 at 08:49 pm
My fiance and I would go on a MUCH needed date night for dinner at the sushi bar and take my first trip into stroh's for dessert.
Kelly B June 27, 2012 at 08:54 pm
I would treat my husband & daughter to dinner for their July birthdays at the Wyandotte resteraunt of their choice followed by dessert at Strohs.
Jennifer F June 27, 2012 at 09:18 pm
Get a tune up at a local Auto shop, and an oil change! If I happen to have a few bucks left over - Stroh's it is!
Dennis Prater June 27, 2012 at 09:50 pm
I'd use it to spend at the farmers mkt. then treat ourselves to a Sanders "cream puff hot fudge. Then maybe a coffee at the Grind.
Jodie Cramer June 27, 2012 at 09:52 pm
I would take my husband, parents and step-parents out for dinner at Coastal Thai then I would buy everyone a custard at Bob Jo's!
Sue Czarnecki June 27, 2012 at 10:39 pm
I would donate the entire amount to the Wyandotte Animal Group, an animal rescue group
that has been saving homeless & unwanted pets for 24 years. They would put the money to good use.
Heather Martin June 27, 2012 at 11:21 pm
I would start the day off by taking my family to Bouncing off the walls for open bounce. Next we would get take out from Mancino's pizza and have a pizza picnic lunch at Bishop Park (the best park downriver). After that I would take my kids to The Candy Store for a small treat.After a trip to the fountain so the kids could cool off, I would take them to dinner at Joe's Hamburgers because they have the best sliders, chili fries and onion rings. For dessert we would stop at Twist and Shout for cones. Then I would drop the kids off at home and my husband and I would go to Gizmo's because after that long day with the kids we would definately need a couple of drinks!!
Pamela Noles June 27, 2012 at 11:35 pm
I would start off at Franks and have dinner, then I would head down to Sanders and have a hot fudge cream puff and finally over to Dohickeys for drinks and I would do all this with my boyfriend Jack!!! A great night in a great city!!!
John Fulmer June 28, 2012 at 12:18 am
I would donate it to a family in need.
Shannon June 28, 2012 at 02:45 am
Once a week I would bike ride with my kids to Strohs to have ice cream and make that a new summer tradition until the $100 ran out.
Jerry Nagorski June 28, 2012 at 11:09 am
My wife and I would take Father Michael Cremin and Father Linus Kinyua ( Pastor and Associate Pastor of St Joseph, St Patrick and St Elizebeth Catholic Churches) to lunch or dinner their choice of a Wyandotte establishment. They both have been working hard the last two years to merge the three Churches. It will be a sad week end with the closing of St Elizabeth but because of their dedication and prayers they will make a difficult situation an easier transformation.
Renee Tarnoski June 28, 2012 at 12:00 pm
I would spend it at one of the dollar stores in town on school supplies and donate to the schools to pass out to kids who came without the basic tools for learning in September.
Jennifer June 28, 2012 at 12:27 pm
I would have a great dinner at Portofino's on the deck! Then go down to Edible Arrangements and get a bouquet! Yummy that' sounds perfect! Now im hungry' lol!
Shawn Stepp June 29, 2012 at 01:26 pm

Jean Kowalski June 29, 2012 at 01:27 pm

I help run the soup kitchen at First Congregational Church in Wyandotte on the first and third Saturday's of each month, I would use the $100.00 to buy food to serve the people at the soup kitchen.
Beth June 29, 2012 at 01:30 pm
I would save it for the five of us to spend at the street fair!!
Jen Mathis June 29, 2012 at 01:30 pm
Coastal Thai for dinner, a little something from 4 Her, and some workout gear from The Fighting Fit....my boxing gloves stink! ;-)
Allison June 29, 2012 at 01:33 pm
I would take my whole family to dinner at McMurphy's then head to Stroh's for dessert! :o)
Amy Melissa Farkas June 29, 2012 at 01:50 pm
I would take my Mom and daughters to dinner at Franks for a fabulous pizza, then to Stroh's for ice cream. The rest I would spend on a beautiful piece of art that I've had my eye on at Biddle Gallery...and indulge MYSELF for once!
Danielle Swint June 29, 2012 at 01:52 pm
I would right away walk over to Wyandotte Optical and get an eye exam and see what I can get glasses-wise, something that is desperately needed!
Olivia B. June 29, 2012 at 02:03 pm
I would start off at either RP's, Sushi bar or Solero for dinner. Have dessert at Stroh's then spend the rest shopping.
Kim Piacentini June 29, 2012 at 04:20 pm
Kim, Ron & Hailey
I would wait for my Husband to come home from working out of town. Take our daughter to Stroh's for Chocolate ice cream, then pay for a sitter and go to the new sushi Bar, and a martini @ Gizmos, and stop off at every bar and have a drink, save enough money for a cab ride home in Wyandotte.
Maggie June 29, 2012 at 04:40 pm
Eating out under the shade of Gregorio's patio with chilled glass of Sangira! Followed by Stroh's and maybe some karaoke down at Speedboat ;)
Hollie June 29, 2012 at 04:43 pm
I would use the money to support the small businesses in Wyandotte that have helped my friends and I. Starting with going to tongues for some great coffee, Sushi Bar for amazingly fresh sushi, and a drink at Sports. Nothing better than helping out Wyandotte and getting to spend it with friends!
Jason Alley (Editor) June 30, 2012 at 03:46 am
Thanks for all the great entries. The contest is now closed. We'll announce the winner soon.

how awful, those trees were priceless...really pear trees ????
LW June 14, 2013 at 07:07 pm
They are the ornamental type and don't really produce pears. They are the newest type tree you seeRead More in all the new developments. I don't feel that they belong in a historic neighborhood. Funny how quick they are to cut down trees for developers but don't seem to care or listen to the people who are losing the trees in their neighborhood. Soon there will be a lovely parking lot for us all to look at instead.
yanddot June 17, 2013 at 10:21 am
Instead of the city promoting its history, waterfront, free parking, quaint shops and restaurants,Read More its all about the medical facilities. Priorities?
Robert toboy June 14, 2013 at 10:59 pm
could I see a picture of the pool table?
Linda Ellis June 15, 2013 at 03:58 pm
I will post one. Are you Marys son?
Stacy Priebe Cataldo June 10, 2013 at 07:39 pm
Tina is reliable and compassionate. I would recommend Tina and Wyandotte Dog Care to any dog owner.Read More
Michele Ganstine June 11, 2013 at 10:18 am
Love Tina as my dog walker/dog friend. My dogs' behavior has improved.
Poll Results to date.
Carla Vargas-Henley June 14, 2013 at 05:13 am
I have a son the exact same age as the boy who was supposedly beaten. We have lived in thisRead More wonderful city for many years and never have heard such ridiculousness as police brutality. I taught my son to treat authority figures with respect. I have read many comments on here and the news herald and what bothers me is that you don't hear anything from this boy's parents or even a member of his family trying to build his character at all! What we are hearing instead is about him being uncooperative with officers, pushing an officer, underage drinking, harboring a minor, contributing to the deliquincy of minors, staying in a home with no electricity or running water, drug use. The only people that have defended his character is the lady that rented the home, she's definitely a nut case. As well as his friends. At that young age their peers hear something and run with it without taking into consideration the whole situation. If you are going to be aggressive with our officers they will be aggressive right back. Their are no "kid gloves" when you are 19. Take into account the drug use that was reportedly going on the home. I can't help but believe that this is why the situation escalated as it had. I have seen our police in action they have always been polite and curtious even to people that are drunk off their asses and calling them every name in the book. I am proud to live in this city. I choose to live here just as the people on Lincoln St. Do. Numerous calls to the home was an issue already. If you are going to try to start a battle against the officers in our city make sure you have a basis because you clearly don't. All this negativity surrounding this young man is not helping you make your point. My hope for this young man is that his family is concerned and step back into his life and lead him on a positive road to be a productive and responsible member of society. Everyone who is supporting him and ranting about the police are not helping him. You are hurting him. No one should ever have to live in the conditions this young man was living in, the home was condemned that day by the city. To me that is the most disturbing part. Would you want upwards of 10 people mostly teens staying in a home on your street destroying it and your property as well? If you are going to make a stand against police make sure the example of the person you are using wasn't up to no good in the first place because clearly he was and had been.
Carla Vargas-Henley June 14, 2013 at 07:17 am
I apologize for not addressing your son's friend being tackled at the park. What charges were filedRead More against the police department for it? Was there a settlement for the city to pay the boy's medical bills? Why was the boy running from the police?
David Justice June 18, 2013 at 05:05 am
Carla this boy is now in the Navy serving our country, it was the incident that let this young manRead More know there is NO future downriver and kids (boys in particular) today are lucky to escape this area as there is no jobs or futures here. And the boys ran simply because one started running, there we playing basketball and in today's police state we are dealing with that is what these kids will do anymore. Instead of steering our young adults they are punishing them, harassing them or beating them as you see Jacks comment on how they are now trained. There is NO sense of community with police officers anymore. I am 50 years old and remember having several incidents with police as a teen and I despite getting into trouble I was treated as properly with no abuse and in fact a few times they used there common sense to know these are KIDS doing what kids do and not punish the parents with hundreds or thousands of dollars of fines for something that can be handled internally. Dont get me wrong Carla my son has had the benefit of the doubt 2 times from Wyandotte PD when they could have stuck him good, so I do have respect for 95% of the force, they do have the most dangerous hardest job imaginable, for those that do follow the code of ethics I tip my hat off to them, its these over zealous police that makes me mad as again if you seen the pictures I seen its distrubing to thing that could have been my son getting beat and tasered by these 2 much bigger officers with training. There job is to apprehend him, not teach him a lesson or beat him senseless or perhaps lose his eyesight over something that should have easily been handled. For this teen arrest could have been made without the injuries this kid will have to live with for the rest of his life. And when a officer clearly violates our 1st or 4th amendment laws do you think these officers get suspended or punished? If they do we are not allowed to know what happened, its the only profession where you can do whatever you want and the end results in cloaked in mystery to the general public like the stolen gun in Wyandotte pd, he clearly STOLE the gun which should have been immediate loss of his job, instead he gets a vacation and dont do that again. The rest of us have to follow the law or face endless fines, probation etc, they get a bad boy, here's a paid vacation don't do that again. this is where the lack of respect comes from me, if I go to jail for stealing guns for a police car how does this guy get a slap on the wrist and continue being a officer? Until these double standards are corrected and officers are made to face the same consequences we have to this will never end and why some of them have the I am God complex.
KATHY SLACK June 7, 2013 at 12:19 pm
Agree, sorry that happened to you! Last year, I had hanging baskets along the inside of my fence onRead More sheperd's hooks, the local kids liked to reach over the fence and purposely knock my baskets off, it is really infuriating!
Crystal Kochoian June 8, 2013 at 07:45 pm
That is terrible. Sorry that happened to you.
Kara Golden June 10, 2013 at 01:52 pm
So sorry to hear that. I would be very upset if my baskets went missing...or were knocked over. ThisRead More isn't the first time I have heard someone say that their things were stolen. I hope that the local police are taking these things seriously.
