Virginia: USA

Michael Lohr

I am a university researcher, folklorist, musician, poet and writer. I live in the United States, up a lonely, haunted hollow in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

From a writing perspective, I have published well over 500 articles, short stories and poems worldwide. My writings have been published in 24 countries and translated into 18 languages, including Welsh, Hebrew, Romanian, Croat, Malay, Icelandic and Tamil.

My first book of poetry entitled, "Murmurs from the Book of the Dragon" (bilingual-English/German); was published in Germany 2001. It has sold out of its first small press printing and has been picked up by a larger German publisher for continued publication. The book has also been scheduled for translation and publication into the French, Spanish and Dutch languages. Solar-H Editions/Direct Books Deutschland is also publishing my first novella, "The Forest of Winter".

I am a contributing author to the paperback archeoastronomy publication, "Cascading Comets: Keys To Ancient Mysteries" - released by Stonehenge Viewpoint Press (1998). I am also a contributing author to the ancient history hardcover anthology, "Encyclopedia of the Ancient World" (2001), by Salem Press.

I am also completing a full book-length collection of poetry and essays for Silver Lake Publications entitled, "Anamchara: The Search for Mythic Memories". It is an all-encompassing work that focuses on the never-ending quest for spiritual enlightenment. Anamchara is an ancient Celtic term that means soulmate. I believe we have many soulmates that exist in this world. Searching for them is a matter of spiritual necessity. I call it searching for a soul echo.

All of this is happening while I try to finish my first children's book and my first novel. In addition, I am attempting to complete a book-length collection of Haiku entitled, "Common Threads of Truth". There truly seems not to be enough hours in the day.
