After a fair amount of travel worldwide, I started writing my first novel, 'Deadly Contract', inspired by some of my experiences overseas.
The hero of the story is based in Denver, but the bad stuff takes place when he gets involved with a contract in the Caribbean.
My second novel, 'Deadly Intrigue', is a heady mix of sex and fraud, based in Ohio.

'Deadly Journeys' is an anthology of short stories, where arrogance leads to disaster.

My latest novel is "Reunion for Murder", where a college reunion leads to mass murder...

My publications are on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk

Being Down and Out

Have finished reading 'Down and Out in Paris and London' by George Orwell. Glad I was never in that position... I've heard before about attitudes to hygiene in some restaurant kitchens, but hopefully it's not as horrendous as in Orwell's pre-war experience!

Mike’s Quotes

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
― Calvin Coolidge
