MY name is Mike Holst and I am a former firefighter turned author. I have been writing for about twenty years and I have 12 fiction books in print. I have lived in Minnesota all of my life but now spend winters in Arizona. I am widowed with three grown children, eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren. I write a weekly column for two area newspapers and have done that for fifteen years. My greatest interest is people, nature and dogs and I think my writing reflects that.Visit my web site at www.mikeholstbooks.com or my personal blog at www.mjhfictionville.blogspot.com
