Product description

About the Author

AUTHOR: Ever since I was able to read, I've had a book (or a comic book in the early days) in my hands or on my person. I grew up in a non-digital age, in a home with one telephone that everyone shared, one television that no one watched, and in which movies were a luxury. Aside from radio theatre, books were my best non-human friends. My love of reading never died. When I was 8 years old, I drew my first series of comic books. They were terrible, but I still love them. To me, they represent the moment the wise-old-man inside my little boy's head finally made me aware that I loved to create. As it turned out, I enjoyed writing much more than I enjoyed drawing, but I've spent most of my life doing some form of creative work. And when not, I've worked some boring jobs in very creative ways. To this day, I love to write and to share my creations with others. I'm the guy who will watch a good movie twenty more times, if it means I get to introduce it to someone else and participate in their joy of discovering something entertaining or valuable. I can't be quite so intimately participatory with my own writing, but I do love to know that I've brightened someone's day, made them think, feel or-at the very least-provided them with a welcome distraction for a while.

EDITOR: I was born a bibliophile, but it wasn't until high school that I discovered my knack for editing and decided I wanted to edit fiction. I love the feel of a book in my hands, and I may or may not be one of those crazy book sniffers. In my spare time (which is in short supply), I enjoy playing board games and card games with my husband and two teen boys, perusing antique shops, and, of course, reading. What I love most about editing is cultivating relationships with authors. I feel fortunate to be able to share in their creative vision as an editorial partner. I am inspired by their dedication and I enjoy helping them achieve their goals. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Michael Golvach is an award winning novelist and freelance writer from Grayslake, IL. He doesn't believe in single-layered genres - though every story is a romance of some sort - and has written many titles that run the gamut from character studies to full-on hard-boiled crime fiction. He spends his non-commercial writing time cooking up abstract fiction even he doesn't quite understand; although he's certain someone out there does.

One thing's for sure: He's always got something new cooking.
