Michael is a retired business owner where he did private security and now is a Michigan based author where he writes his Michigan Thrillers. Michael has always had a passion for writing but coming out of college, he didn't see being a writer as a way that he could make a living. With this in mind, Michael decided to start his own business in private security. Even though Michael decided to hold off on his writing career, he always knew that he was going to be a fiction writer. Back in college, Michael actually told a professor that he would be a fiction author at age 60. Michael essentially predicted his future as he fulfilled this goal to be a fiction writer while in his 60s. Michael used his life and private security experience to center his writing around his main character named Jack Handler. Jack is a retired Chicago homicide detective and all of Michael's books follow Jack's adventures. While all of Michael's Jack Handler books are fiction, everything that happens in the books are plausible - this is something that Michael really wanted to focus on and takes pride in. Additionally, all of the Jack Handler books are self contained stories. Michael wanted to write his books in a way in which the reader could pick any of the books up and understand the story they are about to read. Michael always recommends starting with "Murder on Sugar Island," and then going from there. In addition to constantly writing, Michael travels to various shows and events throughout Michigan for book signings and meet and greets. I actually had the pleasure to meet Michael at a recent event and get a signed copy of one of his books. From talking to Michael, it is clear just how passionate he is about writing and sharing Jack Handler's adventures with his readers. I'm looking forward to the day that we can all see Jack Handler on a streaming service. 

In this episode Michael talks about his Jack Handler thrillers, being an author, mindset, and much more!
