Michael V. Kennedy was born in New Jersey and began writing at an early age, producing two 150+ page juvenile mysteries by the time he was twelve. He holds a PhD in History from Lehigh University and has taught and published historical works for a number of years. Recent literary pursuits include his "Paul Blaine, Covert Agent" series of topical adventure and humor and the Dix Franklin novels, "The Maltese Fall Guy", "Writers Cramped" and "If We Only Had The Brain" set in late 1940s San Francisco.
Kennedy uses historical events and recent international political situations and conflicts to anchor his humorous tales.
The "Paul Blaine" series includes stories involving theft of military secrets, terrorist activities and tension with North Korea, all done in a humorous vein. "The Maltese Fall Guy" is set in San Francisco, post-World War II, and revolves around Communist attempts to kidnap an atomic scientist. Funny stuff, indeed.
