Dear Goodreaders
Thank you to Lauren for this new review of Strange Secrets (my latest short story collection)
“This collection of short stories is by far the most interesting thing I have ever read… your sense of reality gets thrown out the window and all of a sudden you’re on a journey of pure insanity! I want to highlight Mike’s ability to paint such vivid imagery in few words. It’s quirky and creative and funny, impressive and enjoyable and comparable to the wonderful Tim Burton.“ So said Lauren at Readers Enjoy Authors’ Dreams.
Here is a link to the Amazon page for Strange Secrets: viewBook.at/StrangeSecrets
It would make a splendid gift for your strange friend (just saying). Happy reading Goodreaders!

First Review for Strange Secrets
"5/5: If Rene Magritte had been a writer instead of a painter, he would have been Mike Russell. These stories have the same kind of surreal, dreamlike quality as Magritte's paintings. I can compare him to Magritte, to David Lynch, maybe even to "The Twilight Zone" to some degree, but really, there is nobody quite like Mike Russell. These stories have a strange beauty and an outlandish wisdom (if that makes any sense). I really think he sees around the edges of reality." JeffBarnes
Thank you Jeff! You can discover Strange Secrets for yourself at Amazon here: viewBook.at/StrangeSecrets
Best wishes,
