Outdoor enthusiast Michael Wheaton has published his first book, Misadventures with Mets, a heartfelt reflection on his childhood outdoor adventures with his best friend, Mets. Growing up in Minnesota during the 1970s and 1980s, Michael paints vivid snapshots of adolescence fishing trips, icy mishaps, boyhood mischief.

Each story captures the spirit of growing up wild and curious, where every misstep becomes a lesson and every memory is laced with warmth, laughter, and the kind of friendship that stands the test of time. It’s nostalgic, honest, and deeply familiar to anyone who spent their youth outside until the streetlights—or the mosquitoes—sent them home.

Many of you in the Roadkill Art community also have your own unforgettable outdoor adventures, the kind that deserve to be told, shared, and maybe laughed about years later. Around here, stories from the great outdoors never get old… and neither do the lessons they leave behind.

Michael’s book is currently available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, which is no small feat for a first-time author and well worth celebrating.

Breanna Horne, from a young age, could be found in her father’s studio creating taxidermy art, with a special focus on duck mounts. After falling in love and becoming the mother of three young children, Breanna was no longer able to participate in taxidermy during pregnancy due to the glue and other materials involved. Motherhood, however, did not slow her creativity, it simply redirected it to the kitchen. Breanna now creates phenomenal cakes, once again carving out a niche in duck-inspired and outdoor-themed designs. While she can bring any theme to life, being raised by a skilled outdoorsman and taxidermist gave her a sharp eye for realistic detail and natural settings. Her cakes reflect the same patience, precision, and artistry she once used in the studio.

Based in South Carolina, Breanna makes cakes, cookies and cupcakes for those lucky enough to live in the Lancaster, Kershaw and Camden areas. Visit her Facebook page to see what 'The Sweet Spot Bakery' is currently creating and cooking up.
