Michael was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. A graduate of Delaware County Community College (A.A.S. Electronics) and Widener University (B.S. Technical and Industrial Administration), Michael served in the Pa. Air National Guard as a weapons crew chief for 22 years participating in several Middle East tours before retiring.

Michael enjoys science fiction and old-time horror films. When not working as a controls technician at a nearby power plant, he enjoys writing his screenplays and novels, while listening to various types of music. Halloween is his favorite holiday and the fall is his favorite time of the year.

Welcome to another edition of Author’s Corner. The Eye of Icarus is now available through Amazon And soon other venues like Waldenbooks, Target and Barnes & Noble. This month, I’ll be in Richmond for RavenCon.

For those of you in the Richmond area, check out RavenCon at www.ravencon.org . I’ll be participating on several panels, a signing and a KoffeeKlatch where I have a table in the restaurant for an hour and anyone can join me to talk, read or have a drink of your favorite beverage with me.

Recently, I’ve done several radio interviews and several others are being scheduled. It seems that The Eye of Icarus has garnered quite a response from the radio hosts who previewed it. The initial views have been fantastic.

Soon, I’ll schedule book signings in areas around the country. I’m waiting for The Eye of Icarus to be entered on the computer system of several book chains.

Things are still quiet on the movie front with my screenplays. Fortunately, the writers’ strike hasn’t hurt my screenplay considerations according to my agents.

I’ve had an increased amount of interest in my Christmas adventure, The Christmas Solution of late. Hopefully something’s going to break soon.

Join me next time for another Author’s Corner and look for me at a convention or signing near you.
