Ep:089 Dean Klinkenberg is a proud Midwesterner who has lived his entire life in Flyover Country, although in 7 different places. After he set aside his ambitions to become a professional bowler, he went to college in La Crosse, Wisconsin, then on to St. Louis where he earned a PhD, met his future husband, and found a city to call home. He settled into an academic career where he set out to make the world a somewhat better place for people living on the margins: the homeless, people struggling with drug addiction, people living with HIV. After a dozen years, though, and a career careening toward middle management, he’d had enough and quit to search for a new path.

He was passionate about travel and the Mississippi River, so he combined those interests by writing about travel in the heart of the US. A few years later, he stretched his skills by writing his first novel, a mystery featuring openly gay travel writer named Frank Dodge. The series has grown to four books, and Klinkenberg looks forward to finding new ways to put Dodge in awkward and difficult positions to see how he finds a way out. Dodge, after all, confronts many of the same challenges we all face: figuring out who we are and what we want, feuding with people who don’t share our view of the world, and trying to hold on to those nuggets of happiness as long as we can.
