Mike’s ability to spin his 20+ books and wide range of life experiences into humorous and heartfelt live presentations have put him in great demand as a public speaker. In addition to his one-man theater shows, Mike has delivered entertaining keynote addresses at conferences for software companies, hospitals and health care organizations, fire and EMS providers, farming and agricultural groups, national and regional utility cooperatives, business and economic development entities, governmental agencies, mental health organizations, dental hygienists, faith-based organizations, logging conventions, book festivals, MFA programs, libraries, and countless others. If you’re interested in retaining Mike for your event, please contact his booking agent here.

The mailing list signup (explained very specifically). We hope you’ll consider joining; it’s old-fashioned but way more loyal than social media. It’s also the best and most direct way to know when Mike’s got something new or is performing near you.

Upcoming live events.

Howdy folks:

This episode is free to all subscribers, and random. Did a lil’ soliloquy up there in the garage and decided to share it. You can watch the episode here.

Thank you. All of you.

Random oddities of the midlist touring author life: You look up from a taxi leaving La Guardia Airport in NYC, spot an odd-looking hotel and realize, “Hey, I slept there once! 2017-ish. Last night of the Montaigne in Barn Boots tour.” And a week ago it was some hotel in Beloit.

From a reader:

I just wanted to thank you for writing Forty Acres Deep. I have not experienced all of Harold’s struggles, but I do know how it feels to cry when the cows leave or to love farming but sometimes feel that it is a losing battle. For a small book it made me think and feel quite a bit. I saw on your website that you had some reservations in writing this book, so I thought I should give my sincere appreciation for whatever it is worth. I hope the wind is always at your back, unless you are spreading manure…

Mike recently engaged in a fun and lighthearted discussion with Tim and Emily of the MPL Insider Series Finale: Beyond the Books One Last Time hosted by the Manitowoc Public Library. Topics included a fun and lively discussion about writing, circuitous career paths, French philosophers, this guy, and Mike’s upcoming performance on June 19th at 6PM at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Manitowoc Campus Theatre (705 Viebahn Street, Manitowoc, WI) for an evening of storytelling and laughter. The event is FREE and open to the public. No advance seating reservations are required! More event details here.

Mike joins the video chat at the 5:45 minute mark and the conversation ends at about the 30 minute mark.
