Welcome to Mike's Works and Words. Inaugurated in July 2001, Works and Words is a showcase of my (Mike Metras’) writings, photography, and coin collecting. We also host the Elgin and Hillside Coin Clubs. Works and Words now supports our now main site, PilgrimageCreations.com (WalkingWithAwareness.com).

Note: I used to offer my services to create web pages, to create newsletters, to do technical writing, and to convert your books to HTML for viewing on your browser. I have not received any requests for those services in a significant time so I have removed them from this site. But I am still very capable of doing all of them and can do that type of work for you if you need the help. If you are interested in any of these services contact me.
