"Under a Sunlit Sky": Another, much larger, collection of poetry and essays. **WILL BE AVAILABLE THIS SUMMER!
"Harbor Jokes": A mostly humorous, sometimes serious memoir of my days working in the mental health field and a commentary on the state of behavioral medicine in today's society
"Cafe at the End of the World": A social commentary in the form of a satire focusing on where we are as a species and where we're headed if we don't grow up before we destroy the only planet we call home.
Also in just an idea stage is a regular series of science fiction novels following the adventures of a paranormal research team
I also have several submissions out to magazines and literary contests for everything from short story contests to first-chapter contests, and poetry.

The Official Myspace of R. Wolf Baldassarro's Networking
You're on the official MySpace of R. Wolf Baldassarro- author, poet, and slut to the written word! Thank you for visiting me today.
Some of my titles to date include Musings from a Candlelit Chamber, A Wolf in the Shadows, The Power of Music Therapy, and A Ghost Hunter's Field Guide. I have also been featured in local media, podcasts, and such magazines as Mused: the Bella Online Literary Review. I have also been involved with the IRM Foundation's Konxari Cards.
It may sound cliché but life really is a journey, with its many roads, its pitfalls, its triumphs, and its quiet moments of peace and reflection.
I do not limit myself to any specific genre of writing. I do poetry, fiction, and non-fiction on whatever topic tickles my fancy or provides my muse with creative inspiration. If anything you could say my genre is Life. The stories I write, and especially the poetry and shorter reflections range from depressing, to optimistic, to humorous and frightening. For that is life. Anyone who is happy 24/7 and has not a care in the world has not experienced life.
Be sure to check out my official website at www.deepforestproductions/com for all things from the world of Wolf. Read and purchase my books and other products, read my biography, search reviews, and much more!
When not writing I am also the founder and CEO of PRISM (Paranormal Research and Information Society of Michigan). Yes folks, I am a ghost hunter!! Please visit the PRISM website for more information at prism.deepforestproductions/com
Professionally I'm always interested in meeting fellow writers, artists, or anyone involved with the creative arts.
On a personal level, and sure it applies to professional too, I'm looking for new friends, intelligent conversation and whatever else comes my way.
If you can shape it in your mind, you will find it in your life.
Kick your feet up, look around, and most importantly have fun while you're doing it!
If you like what you see send me a friend request.
Who I'd like to meet:
A Short Biography
I never did conform to normal ways of thinking whether politically, religiously, or academically. In fact I was rather bored with the way school was taught. Einstein described the true Pisces as being both scientist and mystic. That would be me. Most of the time I just like to think shit up.
While others are content to "have" a religion, I choose to "practice" Spirituality. I'm very shamanic in what I do and believe, borrowing common truths from Native American and Celtic thinking, add in some Buddhist principles and mix it up a bit. In fact, when people ask what nationality I am I reply "Terran" which simple means "of the Earth". As anyone who's ever put together an online profile knows, we're all way too complex to whittle down to a profile page. My life's an open book, just ask and you'll quickly get to know me. I'm quick with a joke or biting sarcasm, but I'm also the perfect shoulder to cry on.
The most defining moment of my life happened in July of 1989. I spent a month in the former Soviet Union as a Youth Ambassador. There were 30 of us from the Metro-Detroit area.
That was so long a go, but seriously, not a SINGLE day has gone by that I have not thought of that trip or briefly relived a memory.
I have a degree in psychology and spent the last 10 years working at various mental hospitals and group homes throughout southeastern Michigan. I am finally living my dream as an author. I have four books in print and several projects in the works.
As 2009 began there was a renewed sense of purpose and direction that I was feeling. After some interesting conversations with a friend I decided that 2009 would be a year of great success that would begin with a reinvention of myself and my publishing. A large part of that was a new public identity that reflects this continuing journey that I am on as I go through life. In a blending of past, present, and future I will henceforth be known to the world at large as R. Wolf Baldassarro. This is a blending of my Spiritual name, Wolf LittleBear, and my birth name, Raffaele P. Baldassarro. Boldly I continue to walk.....
Paranormal Research and Information Society of Michigan is dedicated to exploring the world of the unknown through scientific methods. I am the founder/CEO and Archive Manager. Click the logo for the PRISM MySpace page.
