Michael Reidy

A deracinated New Englander, Michael Reidy has lived in the UK since 1974, with three years off for good behaviour.

After several years as a military journalist for the Department of Defence attached to the Navy (a DINFOS-trained killer), he taught English for 15 years in the UK and USA. He then worked for a specialist PR and marketing consultancy for 25 years.

During this time, Michael drafted several novels and numerous short stories – as well as writing three thousand press release, features, interviews, advertisements and other collateral for his work.

While continuing PR and marketing work during semi-retirement, Michael is publishing old and new novels and stories. He also writes articles on divers subjects for a number of websites.

While his fiction draws on several main subjects and themes, his plots and settings vary widely, making it difficult to pigeon-hole his work.
