Michael Karol

I am a New York-based entertainment journalist, editor and author. My research -- much of it done at the fabulous Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts -- resulted in the best-selling books LUCY A TO Z: THE LUCILLE BALL ENCYCLOPEDIA and THE ABC MOVIE OF THE WEEK COMPANION.

I've written four shorter books about what I like to call the "LUCYVERSE": THE LUCILLE BALL QUIZ BOOK (the only one out there), THE LUCY BOOK OF LISTS, THE COMIC DNA OF LUCILLE BALL: INTERPRETING THE ICON, and LUCY IN PRINT. My television tomes include SITCOM QUEENS: DIVAS OF THE SMALL SCREEN and THE TV TIDBITS CLASSIC TELEVISION BOOK OF LISTS.

I tell a children's fable in the Kindle single THE LITTLEST GINGKO, and ventured into fiction with the gay vampire novel KISS ME KILL ME and its prequel, SLEEPS WELL WITH OTHERS (brought together in the book KISS KILL: A VAMPIRE'S TALE). Coming soon is a book of short stories on the Twilight Zone side, called ALEX KEEPS KISSES IN HIS DRAWER...AND OTHER TWISTED TALES.
