Roughneck Grace: A Conversation with Michael Perry

Oct 6, 2020 | The Professional Noticer

This week, Andy hosts Michael Perry—New York Times bestselling author, humorist, singer/songwriter, and intermittent pig farmer. Michael is one of Andy’s favorite writers, who he actually discovered while taking shelter from a tornado in a bookstore’s basement.

Tune in to be a “fly on the wall” (this is the first time Andy and Michael have ever met) and hear Michael’s story of growing up in rural Wisconsin as a “farm boy,” how his interests led him to work as a cowboy, a firefighter, get a nursing degree, and become a very successful writer…among many other things.

Visit SneezingCow.com to learn more about Michael, sign-up for his mailing list, order his books, music, and more.

Be sure to pickup Michael’s latest book Million Billion: Brief Essays on Snow Days, Spitwads, Bad Sandwiches, Dad Socks, Hairballs, Headbanging Bird Love, and Hope.
