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. Does that mean these stories are zombies? I've written about the stories and legends of the Great Lakes and in particular, Lake Superior, its mystique is always inspiring. 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. I'll take a check. Follow along as I drag you (probably kicking and screaming) into some new adventures and revisiting past favorites. There is some exciting new things happening which includes publishing my wild tales into book form traditional and digital. There are some exciting times ahead, so join in. Take the risk, leap off that cliff, climb into the mud wrestling pit, yeah, 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" which is now available as a Kindle e-book.

HEY, WHAT'S HAPPENIN'

Hey everybody! I just finished up my new horror story called "House of Seances." It has been submitted to appear in the third and last book of Key Publications horror trilogy Vicious Spirits. I love this story, I think it is really cool and very intense.

Now I'm working on another ghost story called "The Late Hero." This one will also be submitted to Vicious Spirits. I'm about halfway through it and expect to finish up in a few days.

In the meantime, my Isabella Carter novel, "Children of Destruction," is in its rewrite stage. It is due for editing in November and release in late December or early January.
