From Michael’s website: In addition to writing, Michael is a film publicist. He began writing in college where he was fortunate enough to watch his first penned one-act play performed on stage by the Orange Coast College Theatre Department. He was hooked from that moment and the writing bug has never left. He currently has two publications, Hunt for the Chupacabra, a free e-book short story, preceding the events of Book I, Night of the Chupacabra.
