|
Michael's experiences during the Cold War and his interest in the environment have shaped his novels. With degrees in computer science, math, and literature, he worked for the government, holding a top-secret security clearance, and in the private sector, documenting analytical software. His fiction reflects our age of environmental uncertainty and political treachery.
A Canadian publisher published Michael's first novel Sunstrike in the eighties when environmental and political conspiracies were considered tall tales. Today we know differently. Medallion Press published Michael's environmental novel Grand Traverse in 2005. It presents a realistic portrait of our frightening near future. His 2006 release, political thriller The President's Nemesis, was compared to The Manchurian Candidate by Library Journal and dubbed "a nail-biting thriller" by Midwest Review. Final Stroke (2007) is about health care scams, a detective who's had a stroke, and a plot to steal a Presidential election. Chernobyl Murders, coming in 2008, is an international thriller.
A Chicago native now living in West Michigan, Michael is a member of the Mystery Writers of America, International Thriller Writers, and the Sierra Club. He has driven a low-emissions hybrid vehicle since the beginning of the technology. His short stories have appeared in: Amazing Stories, Amazon Shorts, the American Fiction Collection, Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, Ascent, Cosmopolitan, Ellery Queen, Michigan Quarterly Review, The Missouri Review, New York Stories, Papyrus, Playboy, Pulpsmith, Skylark, and Twilight Zone. His most recent short story is at:
