About this author

edit data

Michael Merriam was born in Michigan in 1965. He spent most of his life in west-central Oklahoma and north Texas before moving to Minnesota in 1999.

Like most writers, Michael has done a variety of odd jobs over the years: actor, poet, late night disc jockey, short order cook, bassist in a rock-a-billy band, and booking agent for a puppet troupe. Michael is legally blind due to retinitis pigmentosa.

Michael is Co-organizer and Convention Liaison for the Minnesota Speculative Fiction Writers, as well as a member of The Outer Alliance, Science Fiction Poetry Association, SteamPunk Artists and Writers Guild, and is a former member of the Online Writing Workshop.

Michael lives in Hopkins, Minnesota with his wife and a very fuzzy Maine Coon kitten...more
