If a Tree Falls in the Forest

About the author

Why read my books? If you're like me and read across multiple genres but appreciate a story that draws you into the narrative, the characters, and the emotions, then take a look at my library, find the genre that best suits your mood, and pick it up on Amazon for a song. Then, should you want more, my back library will serve you well.

By the end of 2023, I’ll have published 15 books ranging in genres, with two trilogies, a series, and many standalone books. It has been my absolute joy to revel in those childhood freedoms where you can do anything and be anyone (with the proper training and discipline). It has also been fun getting to know my audience when readers approach me (or, I them), and we have meaningful conversations about books in general. I'm a big reader, too, and I want to hear what others are reading to fill out my 'to be read' pile. So don't be a stranger!

Cleo McCarthy Time Travel and Other Impossible Things, 2023: The first time Cleo feared for her life was when she was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s at 23.
The second time is when she discovered she could travel back in time at 24.

The Blind Affect launched on June 22nd, 2021 to some great advanced reviews:
FIVE STARS “... a sometimes disturbing but always profound look at three characters whose lives take haunting courses... 'The Blind Affect' will leave you with a lot to think about.”

What a great way to introduce something as complex as Quantum Physics to children. Really impressed.

I got this one as a first read. This one was an intresting one. It is a picture book to explain the relationship that sciene and spirtuality have with each other. A very unquie concept. I do think the art work was great. However I think it might be a little hard for their key group to understand.

Book one of what could go on and on as a series, I just wanted to offer my daughter a better way of seeing the world. She's young when this book was conceived, so had a great outlook on life, but in order to make those principles stick with her through adulthood, I wanted to offer a kind of reference book. That's what this is. And the second too.

Live better.

Thanks,

Mike
