Mikel B.Classen
Website
Welcome to the website of Michigan writer Mikel Classen. That would be me. Glad you stopped by and keep checking back 'cause this is where all of the cool stuff is. Here are all of the links to stories and articles I've done over the years. Of course there's always new stuff cropping up like a bad case of mold and I'm resurrecting the corpses of the old ones because folks keep asking me too. I've written about the stories and legends of the Great Lakes and in particular, Lake Superior, the greatest lake of all. I know it sounds cheesy, but the Lake really is rather amazing. Now, with this site everybody can check out all of the writing anywhere, anytime. Here will be the news of what kind of strange reality is currently dogging my cat. Actually I don't have cats as I'm allergic. BOOKMARK the site and tell your relatives and friends. Tell them to send money. Follow along as I drag you into (probably kicking and screaming) some new adventures and revisiting past favorites. There is some exciting new things happening which will include publishing my wild tales into book form. There are some exciting times ahead, so join in. Take the risk, leap off that cliff, climb into the mud wrestling pit, yea that's more like it.
Mikel stands on part of the shipwreck of the Mary Jarecki at Au Sable Point along Lake Superior. The inspiration for his story the "Wreck of the Marie Jenny."
