Michael Oborn is a literary provocateur whose pen wields a potent blend of controversy and captivation. Recently honored with accolades from Readers Favorite, including a prestigious 5-star rating medallion and an Honorable Mention, Oborn's literary journey has been nothing short of strange yet remarkable. Dyslexic, he writes, as the first pilots used to explain their flying skills, by the seat of his pants. Locked in the unforgettable knowing that he was the instrument of his sister's death when they were small children, he asks where is roborant for the broken soul? President Barack Obama commented, Individual faults and frailties are no excuse to give in - and no exemption from the common obligation to give of ourselves. Raised amidst the backdrop of the Mormon Church, Oborn's upbringing provided fertile ground for his storytelling prowess. It was in my sisters honor largely that I took up the pen. Fueled by an insatiable curiosity for science and cultural anthropology, Oborn pursued an education at Brigham Young University, Weber State University, and The University of Utah eventually emerging with the equivalent of a Master's Degree and a title as a Chemical Dependency Professional in the State of Washington. Yet, his true passion lay within the realm of creative expression. Juggling roles as both actor and director for the U.S. Army, Oborn's creative journey took a transformative turn with his foray into writing. His magnum opus, Toward Happier Choices, ignited fierce debates among critics and readers alike. With a narrative style often compared to literary icons like E. Annie Proulx, and Edward Abbey, with a touch of Bukowski thrown in, Oborn fearlessly delves into the complexities of faith, identity, and human nature. Drawing parallels to Dan Brown's provocative style in The Da Vinci Code, for his book, Educating Will Kimball, Oborn's bold narrative choices ruffle feathers within the Mormon community and beyond. His work serves as a rallying cry for those seeking to challenge entrenched beliefs and societal norms. Beyond the realm of literature, Oborn's personal journey is one of resilience and triumph. Still scribbling and publishing in the year he turns ninety his unwavering support for healthcare advocacy underscores his commitment to empowering others in times of adversity, As we do for others life takes on value. A USA TODAY & WALL STREET JOURNAL best-selling author, he continues to captivate audiences with his literary prowess. Michael Oborn remains a beacon of inspiration for those who dare to question, challenge, and reimagine the world around us.
