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.
