Michael Robbins is a lifelong resident of the Pacific Northwest and a diabetic, both likely to be permanent conditions. He continues to write novels and short stories with work that originates in his heart, and he draws extensively from history, mythology, and a very fertile imagination. In his prose he strives for unity above division, humor over prejudice, heart over heartlessness. His work has appeared in four fiction collections by Muddy Puddle Press. Butterfly & Serpent is the first novel in a trilogy.
