Born in New Jersey in Eisenhower times, Mike moved to Georgia in 1965 and has sopped up Southern culture ever since. A professional geologist working the environmental consulting rackets by day he chronicles the preposterous through flash fiction, short stories, novellas and a novel-in-progress by night. His work has been recognized in writing competitions in Canada, Ireland, England, Wales and the USA. Twenty-seven of his stories, including a Pushcart Nominee, have been published. One of these, "Capisce?" was co-authored with Susan Zimmerman. This was about her adventures in NYC in the 1990s. Another, "By Invitation Only", was co-authored with Celeste Woody. This story was about her true life encounter with serial killer Ted Bundy. A two-time finalist in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest, Mike has a current total of nine words in that prestigious publication. Mike lives with his wife Sally in an earth-sheltered home on the North Oconee River near Jefferson, Georgia. More info and links to publications at bunker93a(dot)com
