(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 29, 2021 ) June 4, 2021 – Denver, CO and Charlotte, NC – Michael McMahan started writing articles for newspapers in his late twenties after graduate school. Today, with a long list of publication credits and several novels under his belt, he has compiled a collection of some of these articles and columns written for daily newspapers. The Life Section has been published by Outskirts Press—the fastest-growing, full-service self-publishing and book marketing company.

When the Gaston Gazette’s Will MacDonald asked Michael McMahan to write a weekly column in the newspaper’s Life section, he told his wife about this exciting new opportunity. She said simply, “What are you going to write about?” “Life,” he told her, and that’s what he tried to do. The Life Section is a compilation of many of those articles.

McMahan’s essays cover a wide variety of topics: from tributes to Mr. Rogers, old friends and treasured community members to D-Day, how to pay for college, patriotism, immigrants, faith and even the purpose of a rainbow. In “How to Make America Great Again,” he states, “Combining our human spirits and committing
ourselves to the great ideals of our country has immeasurable potential. We can do this, and this, I believe, is how to make America great again.”

“¬The Life Section is a powerful and inspirational collection of Mick McMahan’s essays and articles. There is joy in reading these beautifully written pieces. We share his memories of growing up in a very American family of love and spiritual strength. Mick was a courageous combat leader in Vietnam. He has been an enormously successful business investment manager of good judgment and integrity. These tender essays may well be his most enduring legacy.” —Barry R. McCaffrey
