A Warm Place to Call Home (a demon’s story)
Here’s the set-up:
Frederick is a demon. Born in Maryland in the early 1980′s, he hasn’t a clue where he came from or why, but feels an irresistible desire to occupy a human body. Once inside, he finds the previous occupants’ consciousness and memories forever erased, an inevitable side effect that gives Frederick pause when switching bodies, but not so much as to truly halt his ongoing enjoyment of human lives. In various bodies, he travels the world for decades–aimless–sampling cultures and experiencing life from the points of view of males, females, young, old, rich, poor.
Now, Frederick has an urge to return to his roots in America, explore the mystery of his origin, find someone to love, and settle down for a while. In his hometown, his mission bears fruit much faster than he expected, as person after person presents themselves, and following his impulses, he is lead directly to love, tragedy, answers, and the humanity he never knew he wanted.

“I loved this book. It really took me by surprise. I don’t want to say more because I don’t want to give anything away but it is one of those books that you want to keep reading to see what happens and before you know it it’s 3am. I would definitely recommend it and hope there is a sequel.”
“Bravo – Wow! This was an incredible book. Most people don’t delve as deep into themselves as Frederick does and we all should check ourselves every once in awhile. It was a brilliantly told story that made me think and most importantly, feel. I’m looking forward to many years of reading Michael Siemsen’s work.”
