T M Brown

T. M. Brown—Mike to his friends and family—is a Georgia author whose novels explore family, community, memory, and the legacies people leave behind.

His affection for rural Georgia began during childhood visits to his great-uncle’s farm beyond Stone Mountain, where red-clay roads, pasture fences, well water, and an old farmhouse created memories that later helped inspire the fictional town of Shiloh. His Shiloh novels—Sanctuary, Testament, and Purgatory—introduce readers to a close-knit Southern community filled with friendships, secrets, conflicts, and second chances.

Mike is also the author of the historical novel The Last Laird of Sapelo, based on the life of Randolph Spalding and his family during the opening months of the Civil War. The novel examines one man’s struggle to preserve his land, protect those who depend upon him, and uphold his family’s legacy as war approaches the Georgia coast.

His novels have received recognition from the American Book Fest Best Book Awards, Chanticleer International Book Awards, Georgia Independent Authors Association, Southeastern Writers Association, and Killer Nashville’s Silver Falchion Awards.

Retired since 2014, Mike is the founding president and current president emeritus of the Hometown Novel Writers Association. He and his wife, Connie, live in Milledgeville, Georgia.
