Michael J. Hawron

Over the course of thirty years, Michael J. Hawron has had adventures in thirty countries on five continents. His decades of world travel were the product of a long break from his formal studies in electrical engineering and behavioral sciences at MIT. He finally completed his MA in higher education and adult learning at Texas A&M University.

He has been attacked by baboons, survived natural disasters, and met a number of colorful characters all over the globe. His first book, Entertaining Detours, is an insightful and humorous look at his adventures—and misadventures—along the way.

Hawron and his wife, Annette, live on a small farm in New Boston, Texas, the setting and source of the stories contained in The Little Town with the Big Heart. Michael J. Hawron is the father of twelve children and grandfather to fifteen.
