I did some work for WEG too, in a both of its incarnations. Best of luck with your writing. It’s hard but worth it. Family always comes first though.

Traverse City is a wonderful place. I don’t get back there often enough. My grandparents live in town—they used to be in Buckley—and my aunt and uncle live on Torch Lake.

I’ve lived in Traverse City for most of my life. Except for the 9 year Air Force stint. I used to freelance for WEG back when they were still solvent.

1) I only sleep about six hours a night, if that. If you have twins, you probably know how this can happen. Congratulations, by the way!

2) I do this full-time, so no day job takes priority—just the family.

For me, I was born and raised in Wisconsin, but I went to college at the University of Michigan and lived in Ann Arbor on and off for nine years. My father’s from Detroit, originally, and I have family around Traverse City. My wife’s from the UP (Upper Peninsula, for readers not in the know) and still has family there. So, my ties to the Wolverine state are strong.

Quads…Wow. Matt are you originally from Michigan?

BTW, Marked for Death was great!
