Former Air Force Photographer finds Himself in the Search for Extraterrestrial Life
MONTCLAIR, CA: January 12, 2016 – Long-time Oregon resident Mike Walters found his first
love in the outdoors, and then quickly followed up with photography, bicycling, globetrotting,
and library software development.
He would finally find his true calling at the tender age of 45 while settling in to watch a program,
Ancient Aliens, on the History channel. It was then that the concept for his debut novel, The
Outlaw River Wilde was born.
"What if we're not alone in the universe?" he asks of readers who dare to venture into his world
of Mystery with Science Fiction and Paranormal elements. "And what if our forgotten past was
the link to our probable future?"
Mike intertwines his love of Native American culture and a passion for the Pacific Northwest
setting he called home as a child in his original tale of intrigue and adventure guaranteed to keep
readers guessing until the very last page.
Mitch Wilde never believed in aliens—that is, until he was left with no other way to
explain the strange events happening around his small Pacific Northwest home. With
scattered appearances of ghostly Native American riders, a series of odd break-ins by
unknown intruders, and hints that more could be coming, Mitch, along with his
cantankerous old neighbor who is becoming a new friend, vows to unravel the mysteries
and preserve the comfortable life he has worked so hard to build.
When an unexplained attack leaves his long-time best friend acting quite unlike
himself, Mitch knows he has to act or risk losing everything. The only question is: Does
he have what it takes to overcome the mysterious, potentially powerful force once and for
all?
Mike, if not out bicycling, can frequently be found visiting Claremont Ales - a southern
California favorite micro-brewery with his son Alexander contemplating his next novel, Still
Wilde In Outlaw River. With his 50th birthday in the rearview mirror, Mike has plans for many
more exciting yarns and knows the best is yet to come.
