After stints as a manual laborer, dishwasher, bartender, restaurant manager, commercial photographer, magazine editor and public relations executive, Mike decided life should imitate art. He's now an author and freelance writer. Mike has published six novels in the award-winning Emerson Ward mystery series and a stand-alone suspense novel, Island Life, which was a USA Book News "Best Books" award-winner in 2008.

Night Blind, named a best book of 2012 by The Examiner's "Miami Books," is the first in Mike's new thriller series set in Seattle featuring Blake Sanders, and he's working on the fourth in the series now. He's also completed the first book in a YA thriller series.

A member and past regional vice president of Mystery Writers of America, Mike is also a member of the International Thriller Writers and the Authors Guild. He's served as a judge for both MWA's Edgar and ITW's Thriller Awards.

Mike grew up on a farm in northern Illinois, went to prep school and college "back east," and lived in Chicago for 20 years. He and his family now reside in the Seattle area.
