Michael Perry
Michael Perry’s writings are firmly based on his childhood and life in northwestern Wisconsin. Perry worked as a nurse for some time before quitting in order to take a low-paying job that would give him time to write. He is the author of several books, including Truck: A Love Story and, most recently, Coop: A Year of Poultry, Pigs and Parenting. Now a full-time writer, Perry is also an active member of his local volunteer firefighting department.
