Me

The Author

Michael is native to New York's Hudson Valley and the neighboring Berkshire and Catskill mountains, an area rich with local legends. His goal is to entertain readers with atmospheric and cinematic stories that feature heroes who embody the best (and sometimes worst) of us. Always grounded in reality, his stories are peppered with the unreal. They can be dark at times, but they never lose sight of the light that keeps hope alive.

Michael absolutely rejects the use of AI for writing novels. Every word is his own.
