Michael McBride lives in Westminster, Colorado in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, where he has spent his entire life. He can be found hammering on the keyboard night and day, always within arm's reach of both hot and cold caffeinated beverages. Aside from writing, Michael is an avid reader and hockey fanatic, hoping to one day live his dream of having season tickets on the glass at the Pepsi Center. Among his most notable successes are meeting his beautiful wife- who somehow manages to overlook his peculiar neuroses- and their four children, whom, through the miracle of genetics, managed to inherit their mother's looks and their father's idiosyncrasies. His alter-ego works with radiation, which should be at least somewhat mitigating.
