All authors are not naturally dynamic public speakers. Commonly, writers can be introverts. Many are not fond of public speaking. Because of this it can be visibly awkward or uncomfortable when they must do it to benefit their book. As an author, Mike Veeck comes across differently.
Mike Veeck Author and Public Speaker
Speeches and interviews with him are seemingly effortless, entertaining, and often unpredictable moments. The content of Mike Veeck books read and flow like the words of a storyteller. Therefore, they effectively deliver whether in writing or speaking engagements.

Forewords
Owning a Piece of the Minors
He was asked to write the foreword for a book titled, “Owning a Piece of the Minors.” It reveals the real-life story of author Jerry Klinkowitz. He is another person fortunately able to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming the owner of a baseball team. With this intention, he proudly became part of a group which controlled the Waterloo Diamonds ballclub in Iowa for years.
Slouching Toward Fargo
Coincidentally that same year, another book hit the shelves. This one hit even closer to home for Mike Veeck. It was written by talented journalist and author, Neal Karlen. He’s been a contributing writer for Newsweek, The New York Times and Rolling Stone. Not only did Neal rock Slouching Toward Fargo, he and Mike still are rocking a friendship.
Mike Veeck happily added the foreword for this timeless classic. The book takes you along for the Fun of Neal’s epic exploring of the wacky world of the St. Paul Saints.
