M.R. Gerbo grew up in Michigan near the western basin of Lake Erie and spent much of his youth fishing and exploring the inland marshes. His career as a business executive took him to Iowa for most of his adult life. He now lives in Florida with his pretty wife of 47 years, Dr. Joan.
He has always considered himself a writer and can now capitalize on the joy he finds in the written word. When not on his lanai writing, he can be found on the pickleball courts, in his wood shop, or playing with his band, the North Loop 4tet.

Erie Marsh Series
|
Brownstown, Michigan near the marshes of Lake Erie, 1968. A year after the Detroit riots. Societal attitudes are changing, and the drug culture is emerging, even in this small blue-collar town. For fourteen-year-old Mickey Pervitch, it is a time of growth, tragedy, revenge, drugs, murder, and healing with an indifferent father.
Loner Mickey begins the summer, acknowledging that his dream of playing baseball won't happen again. On a whim, he takes a job as a busboy at POP's where he learns, at a young age, lessons usually reserved for adults. He retreats to his safe place, the marsh, where his father meets him to sort out the heartbreak that drugs have brought to their family and community.
Told from Mickey's perspective years later, the story cycles the reader through laughing and crying from one page to the next. It is a deeply touching and personal tale of a father and son coming to terms with each other and the circumstances they are forced to accept.
