With his eye (and ear) for the comical elements of contemporary rural life, New York Times bestselling author – straight outta New Auburn, Wis. – Michael Perry has built a loyal audience with his popular memoirs Visiting Tom and Population 485. He recently turned to fiction with The Jesus Cow (released May, 2015) – an affectionately skewed and big-hearted depiction of one miraculous bovine and the chaos it unleashes. You can find all of Perry's various titles at The Local Store, many of them signed by the author himself. Find them online here.
