Mike Broemmel

Mike Broemmel is an author-lecturer who resides in Denver, Colorado. Portions of the first book Broemmel saw published actually were written on shreds of toilet paper during a particularly low point in his life.

Broemmel recently has focused his energies on playwriting. Two of his plays currently are in production: The Row and The Baptism. In addition, Broemmel is working on three new plays slated for production in 2015: Goddess People, Six Joan Crawfords and Miss Trent.

A native of Colorado, Broemmel actually spent a good deal of his adult life away from the state, beginning in college.

While a college student, Broemmel spent his summers in Washington, D.C. His experiences in the U.S. capitol city began with an internship at a prestigious law firm and carried onward to a position at the White House in the Office of Media Relations and Planning. At this juncture, Broemmel entered into the rough and tumble world of U.S. politics.

Politically, during the 1990s, Broemmel was very active. He served as a national, regional and state officer for a number of different political organizations. He was involved in several presidential campaigns and logged many hours in the snows of Iowa during four separate primary campaigns. In 1992, Broemmel himself was the Republican nominee for the state senate.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s Broemmel was extremely active in the not-for-profit realm. He served as the director on the boards of a couple dozen different nonprofit agencies. Included in his efforts was a decade as the chairman of the board of a large, comprehensive human services agency in the Midwest with operations in a four state region. An advocate for the arts, Broemmel served six years as the president of the arts council in the Kansas capitol city and served for a term as the chairman of the statewide Association of Community Arts Agencies for Kansas.

In recent years, Broemmel has been outspoken about tragic problems that befell his own life in the late 1990s. During this time, he developed severe depression and truly lost control over his personal and professional life. In short, by 1999, Broemmel lost everything.

Oddly enough, it was during these dark days that Broemmel saw the publication of his first two books: "The Miller Moth" and "The Shadow Cast." Indeed, Broemmel has enjoyed notable success as a writer and lecturer tha
