About the author

MICHAEL DUNN was born and raised in Las Vegas. From a young age he has been fascinated by film and made his directorial debut at CineVegas with the acclaimed short film THE BET, which CityLife declared “Enigmatic and profoundly disturbing.” Since then he has directed a documentary, a music video and another short film entitled MONEY SHOT.

Michael recently returned to writing as it’s far cheaper than making a film. His first novel, BEAUTIFUL was preceded in publication by his first, DETOX, both based on a screenplays he wrote (DETOX with frequent collaborator, Chris Smith).

Michael now lives in the hills on the outskirts of Vegas with his wife, sons, dogs, a ghost named Ralph and the corpses of a hamster and a hedgehog buried in the backyard.
