Michael Dylan Welch lives in Sammamish, Washington. When he isn't writing, he likes to ski, play racquetball, hike, take photographs, plan outings with his wife and two children, build his music library of great guitar solos, read books, and tend to his website at www.graceguts.com. Michael is especially active with haiku poetry, and he's published his writing and translations in dozens of books and hundreds of journals and anthologies in at least twenty languages, including on the back of 150,000,000 U.S. postage stamps.
