Autorenporträt
From an early age, Mike Walters realized that life was more fun when unencumbered by a strict adherence to the truth. In other words, he learned to lie. Be it the size of the steelhead that broke his line and slipped back into the mighty Rogue River, or the glaring new scratch on his father's truck, Mike was always ready with a yarn to spin and an audience to dupe, delight, and most importantly, entertain. When he wasn't enjoying center-stage, Mike pursued long periods alone in the wild. As his brother and father went gold-panning in the heart of the Kalamiopsis wilderness, Mike would wander off with his fishing pole and Labrador, cliff diving into bottomless pools and evading protective mama bears. These moments attuned him to the deep, hidden songs of nature, and his affinity for quiet observation would lead him to explore 49 of the fifty states of his homeland and later pursue a career as a photographer for the U.S. Air Force. This tapestry of characters and places forms much of the inspiration for his books and characters. These days, when Mike isn't mountain biking through Oregon or photographing the great outdoors, he's madly tapping away at his latest story. To date, Mike Walters has published three novels that span supernatural, mystery, and action genres, mostly set in Southern Oregon. His fourth book, "The Good Sheriff," will be released in July 2020, and a brand-new mystery is currently in the works. To stay up to date with new releases visit mikewaltersnovels.com
