Featuring Mike Dunn, author of Somewhere Between Earth and Heaven. Mike Dunn's Arizona heritage goes back to the 1800s. He’s worked his Granddad’s ranch, the Rail "A" brand ranch much of his life and now part owner, he spends as much time there as life allows. His original poetry, shared in the book entitled “Somewhere Between Earth and Heaven,” reflects his own experiences, along with the experiences and stories passed down – widely accepted as a tribute to the ranch family.
The Academy of Western Artist named it as a recipient of the Will Rogers Medallion Award shortly after its publication, with CDs by the same name. He is also the recipient of the Gail I. Gardner Award recipient as an Arizona Cowboy and Poet.
Mike Dunn's books and CDs will be available at the event for purchase and a percentage of the proceeds will benefit Friends of Mesa Library.
