Description
xA Chicago native, Mike Matthews is known for weaving the intricacies of tragic love and desperate hope into a kaleidoscope of adult literature. For 30-years, Mike has memorialized the real events of people he has encountered during his many travels. The Legendary ZIPPO is one such adventure that captures the uplifting story of one dad, on one day, told to his one son, by fellow Marines. Nothing can prepare you for the raw and revealing life lessons that are passed on in a legacy, shrouded in an American flag. This is a true story.
Out of respect for the living,
certain names have been changed.
Out of respect for the dead,
the events have not. The Writer: While earning his creative writing degree at the University of Illinois, Mike Matthews was named a 1995 James Fellowship Semi-finalist for a Novel in Progress for his literary piece, In the Garden. Since then, Mike has embraced his passion for combining creative fiction and non-fiction based on people he has encountered during his travels, and is known for weaving the intricacies of tragic love and desperate hope into a kaleidoscope of adult literature. The Windy City Writers Club: While in high school, Mike founded the original Windy City Writers Club in 1984 for the sole purpose of bringing together other writers committed to the craft. Today, there are over 30 WCWC nationwide that embrace their mission of discovering and developing talent through various writing contests and other services. The Publisher: In 2004, Mike lost a dear friend and an original WCWC member. Recognizing life is too short, Mike retired from corporate America and launched North Avenue Publishing. Since then, NAP has released a variety of anthologies composed of winning contest submissions and works by individuals. The Philanthropist: Aside from fees paid directly to NAP's nationwide network of editors, proceeds are often used to fund a variety of Young Author Contests. The Legacy: NAP serves as the main conduit to the Windy City Writers Club legacy by printing limited runs of anthologies that are donated to libraries and shelters across the country. Each publication inscribed with the original motto, "Fear not for you are not alone, but are loved and understood as much as you love and understand." www.NorthAvenuePublishing.com
