Tom Warren likes to write about places where he has lived for a long time. The setting for his book An Old Caddie Looks Back: Reflec?tions from a Town that Loves Golf . . . is Rockford, Illinois, Warren's birthplace and home growing up. An?other book, Discovering Lake Superior and the Western Upper Penin?sula of Michigan, draws from decades of journal entries and experiences around the family cabin near Ontonagon, Michigan. And now comes Dis?covering Beloit: Stories Too Good to be True? - a novel about inves?tigative journalism in the southern Wisconsin com?munity where he has lived since the Seventies.
Warren is Emeritus Professor of Education at Beloit College. He lives with his wife Anna Marie ("Mim") in Beloit with fre?quent trips to their Upper Peninsula cabin and to Wheaton, Illinois, where they visit their daughter Rachel, son-in-law David, and grand?children Jack and Will.
