Welcome to Marquette Fiction

Marquette Fiction is home to the works of Tyler R. Tichelaar. Tyler has a PhD in Literature and owns Marquette Fiction, his own publishing company and Superior Book Productions, a professional editing, proofreading, and book layout company. He is also the former president of the Upper Peninsula Publishers and Authors Association. Tyler is especially proud to be a seventh generation Marquette, Michigan resident.

Tyler began writing his first novel at age sixteen. In 2006, he published his first book Iron Pioneers: The Marquette Trilogy, Book One. Numerous books have followed. While Tyler also writes on such diverse topics as nineteenth century Gothic fiction (The Gothic Wanderer) and historical fantasies about King Arthur (The Children of Arthur Series), he remains engrossed in writing about Marquette and Upper Michigan as microcosms for the greater American story. He has many more books in the works.

Odin's Eye: A Marquette Time Travel Novel

“John” has a problem. He doesn’t know his real name. He doesn’t know where he’s from. He’s not even sure if he’s in the right time.

When John is found unconscious at the Huron Mountain Club and brought back to Marquette, Michigan to recuperate, everyone assures him it’s the year 1900, but somehow John’s memories of automobiles, televisions, and other modern devices seem to suggest he doesn’t belong in this time. More

Vampire Grooms and Spectre Brides:
The Marriage of French and British Gothic Literature—1789-1897

Many British and French Gothic novels are being rediscovered today that are part of the second Gothic Golden Age, an age too often overlooked, but integral to the evolution of the Gothic. While nationalism influences these works, they are a melting pot of ideas and styles from both nations. Consequently, the only way to truly understand the Gothic tradition in British literature is to understand that tradition in French literature and vice-versa. More

“Roosevelt lies and curses in the most disgusting way; he gets drunk, too, and that not infrequently, and all of his intimates know about it.”

— George Newett,
The Iron Ore

Theodore Roosevelt Association Journal Review of When Teddy Came to TownWhen the above words appeared in print, they resulted in one of the most famous libel trials of the early twentieth century.
