Michael Dunn

Michael Dunn is a tattooed, old-school goonie with a knack for turning chaos into stories that punch you in the gut and make you laugh while you’re bleeding. Born from a mix of hard lessons and harder choices, Dunn writes across genres with the same unflinching honesty he lives by.

From teaching the digitally cursed how to survive their computers (Help! My Computer Is Smarter Than Me) to dragging readers through the corporate purgatory of call centers (Tech-Support), he never sugarcoats the struggle. His motivational book Don’t F**ing Quit* is a battle cry for anyone standing on the edge of giving up, while The Silver Hand of Tara throws kids (and grown-ups who remember being kids) headfirst into Celtic myth and demigod madness. And just to prove he’s not done wrecking your excuses, Old School Professionalism cuts through workplace nonsense with the same fire he brings to every other page.

By day, Dunn is a global IT operations leader who has run tech for governments, Fortune 500s, and the biggest cloud platforms on Earth. By night, he’s a husband, dad of five (two still at home in Kenmare, Ireland), and a storyteller who bleeds truth into every line. If you want wisdom wrapped in scars, humour carved from chaos, and the kind of grit that refuses to quit, Michael Dunn is your guy.
