Mike Nettleton

Mike Nettleton is an Oregon native who has had a long career in radio broadcasting. An Oregon native, his gift for gab has taken him to six western cities including Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he met the love of his life; Arcata, California, where he nearly got a nosebleed from staring up at the redwoods; and Eugene, Oregon where the rain falls almost daily and the anarchists demonstrate nearly as often. Currently, he is a news host with 1190 KEX in Portland, Oregon. Mike has been a four-time finalist in the Pacific Northwest Writer's Association short story competition, winning twice. He and Carolyn were chosen as finalists in the Rocky Mountain Gold competition for Humbug Mountain, and they have written three other novels together without their friends having to instigate a marital intervention. Currently, they co-teach a novel-writing boot camp class at Clark Community College in Vancouver, Washington.
