When I do a book signing or give a talk the question I’m most often asked is how did I become a writer? I tell them when I was in the sixth grade our teacher, Mrs. Whalen gave the class an assignment. We had to write a story. It could be a real story or one we made up. A few days later she called me up to her desk. I noticed she had been reading my story and she asked me if I knew what I might like to be when I grew up.  I told her I would like to be a forest ranger. She said that would be a good thing to be, but had I ever thought about becoming a writer?  I told her no. She looked at me and said, very seriously perhaps someday you should.

That’s when the writing seed was planted and I’ve been writing ever since.

One of the highlights of my writing career was when I was evited to give a talk and signing at one of the countries most prestigious privately funded libraries in the country, the Ernest Hemingway Library in Sun Valley, Idaho.

About the Book

The Peaceful Journey That Will Leave You Inspired

Mike Stratton pulled over and stopped the car at the crest of the rise. Below him, the valley stretched out as beautiful as it had been the first time he and his two friends, Scot and Reddy, had laid eyes on it so many years ago. It was the summer after they graduated from high school, and they had taken a road trip along California’s Highway 49, the famous Mother Lode Highway. Their journey had led them to this peaceful valley, where they camped, fished, and met several of the warm-hearted locals. Mike had always known he would return here someday, and now, he had come back—hoping to fulfill the dream that had stayed with him all these years.

The Valley of Tranquility is a fascinating story that follows Mike Stratton on a journey down memory lane, reflecting on his past while accepting a new chapter of his life. As he settles into this idyllic valley, he forms new friendships and exposes deeper truths about himself and those around him.

With its heartwarming exploration of life’s simple joys—like friendship and finding your footing—The Valley of Tranquility is an inspiring read. Like the author’s previous works, it’s a real page-turner that will leave readers reflecting on their own journey toward peace and self-discovery.
