Mike Owens is a true artisan. Not only does he write, but he also creates musicals, and acts in both his own and other works. As a Christian writer, one is often left thinking that writing needs to be spiritual in some way, but Mike finds wonder in the simple things in life, and demonstrates why everyday life should be wonderful to consider. Whether it is a series of poems about the reasons children might give for not liking vegetables, or the stories about cattle drives, and life in the west, or the life of a river boat man, and the trials of the son of the man known as Mike Fink, Mike Owens tells stories that you can visualize and relate to. For Mike, writing is about telling stories, and he does an exceptional job developing the characters and then connecting their lives with his readers. Enjoy his foray into published storytelling, it will be time well spent.
