G Michael Smith

G Michael Smith was born, raised and still lives on Vancouver Island on Canada’s west coast. He began writing as a teenager and dreamed of doing it full-time. Now retired from decades of teaching (mostly Computers and Drama) he has been prolific to say the least. He has completed a trilogy of sci-fi novels to launch “The Forevers” series featuring Jayne Wu – "Fixer 13," "Master Fixer" and "Impostor." He will soon add another novel to “The Forevers” series titled "Omie 17" featuring Pandora Rau. He has also completed a young adult adventure novel titled "A Beechwood Adventure - Hijacked.”

Currently he is working on editing and illustrating "The Adventures of Bernie the Banana Slug," a book adults will enjoy as they read it to their children. He hopes it will stimulate discussions of the flora and fauna of the Pacific Northwest. The two new novels and the children's book will be available in 2018. He is also a poet and will soon be publishing a collection of his poems.

Previous to writing novels, his main creative outlet was theatre for young people. He taught drama and theatre and has written festival-winning plays.

He and his wife are enthusiastic pickleball players; together they have five adult daughters.
