About the Author

Warren Michael Allen - After more than 30 years as an indentured servant, Mike left corporate America in 2008 and has never looked back. He doesn't miss the corporate life and is thankful it set up a secure retirement, even if it did start at an early age due to merger related downsizing. It doesn't matter what he did. I could tell you he was an engineer, a manager, an executive "this", or a senior "that", or even a janitor who swept the floor and delivered the mail, suffice it to say, it was an intellectual and people skill challenge. It no longer matters. It is a series of unchanging events which lie squarely and forever in the past.
All that matters is what he has become. He understands himself and his place in the world. His daily goal is to make the world a little better place for friends, family and the occasional stranger that crosses his path.
Today he tickles the keys of a laptop in hopes of making a literary contribution; this task is made easy by watching the waves lap the shore and enjoying a post card perfect view. Painting, research, hiking, biking, golfing and skiing occupy his days. Life is a glorious trip and Northern Michigan is the scenic backdrop.
