After writing more than 150 books, Columbus native Michael J. Rosen is still not done. He continues writing children's books and adult poetry.
Beyond writing, he is an artist of many forms, and a teacher. We’ll learn about all of his trades and more.
Sometimes, it just takes one person to change something many people overlook. For Melanie Barrett, her late sister inspired her to create a company dedicated to making safe and stylish outerwear for people in wheelchairs.

It's all part of this week's Fascinating Ohio.
