Dion Mindykowski continues to find inspiration in his place of birth, the south end of Bay City. He graduated from SVSU in 2002 with a B.A. in Creative Writing and now makes his living researching the occult, the body types of seagulls, doll clothing, the maximum speed of whales, and all other bizarre items of tax-payer interest. Dion can be found organizing literary events at La Belle Epoque in Bay City, contributing articles to 360 Main Street, and writing fiction & poetry, while standing, at his basement bar that doubles as a desk.
