About Mike

By day I’m just a time traveling pirate trying to save the world one beer at a time. At night, I slay zombies except on Thursday nights, that’s when I watch Burn Notice.

If it can be done outside, I probably do it and I bring the wife and kids with me. I like to, (take deep breath here) ski, snowboard, rock climb, canyoneering, snowshoe, mountain bike, sea kayak, scuba dive, backpack, fish and last but not least run. I run anywhere from six to twenty miles a day and I usually do it barefoot. I’m training for the 4 Deserts Race with my biggest obstacle being trying to find sponsors.

As for my novels, they are good old fashioned science fiction without the fantasy. When you read most stories, once you know the plot you have a good idea how it will end. They will find the murderer, catch the bank robbers, find the treasure, fall in love, etc… What I like to do is let the reader get comfortable with how they think it will end then throw in a plot twist which changes the story and eliminates your previous ideas of where we were going.
