Mike is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis. He served a career as a Navy combat pilot and in senior positions on staffs in Washington, D.C. Following his military service, he filled a number of positions in aerospace systems engineering in several Fortune 500 companies. In a desire to help people develop he earned a PhD in Organizational Leadership and started a leadership development company for coaching and training.

Writing was a survival process in his doctoral work and from that came the well-received non-fiction book Leaders are Made Not Born. That writing and publishing experience lead to his desire to write fiction which he now enjoys in his free time . . . when, of course, he is not also enjoying salt water fishing.

The next book, Search for Help, is finished but needs proof reading and interior design completion. My regular proof reader is unavailable so a search is underway for a replacement. I wanted to launch in September but that may get pushed out to November or December depending on edit schedules.

Humanoid Aliens and Faster-Than-Light Travel

Science fiction is full of strange aliens (many humanoid aliens), faster-than-light travel, and galaxies teeming with life. But if you’ve read my Records of the Argos series — or nearly any space opera — you’ve probably noticed something curious: most of the aliens walk upright, have two eyes, and use tools like we do.
