Mike Palecek

With Tony Christini and Andre Vltchek, Mike founded Mainstay Press, a publisher dedicated to social change.

Mike Palecek lives with his family in northwest Iowa. He is a former federal prisoner for peace, former seminarian and former small-town newspaper reporter. In the 2000 election, he was the Iowa Democratic Party nominee to represent the Fifth District in the U. S. Congress.

Mike has written several novels which take place in Iowa or Minnesota. He writes of people who challenge the accepted norms. His characters learn the secrets of the powerful and rich, and they try to fight back against untruth and injustice. His first Mainstay book is the just-published Terror Nation.

With William Strabala Mike wrote the nonfiction study "Prophets Without Honor: A Requiem for Moral Patriotism". It’s a look at priests who put their faith on the line, risking ostracism, excommunication, imprisonment and death for what they believe.

Mike is quite active politically and writes about one novel per year. He maintains a web site called Iowa Peace: [1]
