Michael Branch is a Reno-based professor, writer, humorist, environmentalist and desert rat. He is the recipient of the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame Silver Pen Award and the Western Literature Association Frederick Manfred Award for Creative Writing.

“[Branch’s] gift for humor arises in well-turned phrases and ironic scenes . . . You might not know which to prefer: the erudite storyteller with the massive vocabulary, or the good old boy who confesses he’s also a bit of a gear head. But you need not choose between the two.”
