Items related to My Name Is Michael Bishop
Michael Bishop is a gifted inventor, whose daughter Eva is the newest victim of an incurable magical plague. His only hope is a desperate bargain with a magician that will let him sacrifice his own life to save her, in exchange for his life's work: a steam-powered mechanical man. But the spell backfires, trapping his soul in the frail body of his clockwork creation and leaving Eva uncured.
Unable to speak and too weak to fight, Michael can do nothing when the magician arrives to claim not only the golem, but Eva as well, for some unknown purpose. Now, trapped in the magician's manor, it's a race against time as Michael searches for a way to cure his daughter before it's too late, even as he feels his own humanity slipping away a little each day

About the Author:
TR Goodman came into the world in the aftermath of the Mount St. Helens volcanic eruption. From an early age, he cloaked himself in stories of fantasy worlds, spaceships, superheroes, and dragons, though the mundanes assure him that Washington State hasn't seen a dragon since at least the 1970's. Now that he is grown, he is well within his rights to keep a steampunk dragon in the back yard if he wants to. As long as it doesn't all the fruit on the trees, everything is shiny.
Armed with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of Star Wars (except the prequels, which he chooses to ignore), retro video games, and 1980's cartoons, not to mention a bootleg sonic screwdriver he bought off a vagrant time lord sometime next Thursday, TR Goodman weaves words into stories of magic and adventure, with the occasional alien or spaceship thrown in to keep things interesting.

"Not easily brought to tears, this book had me wiping an appreciative maternal eye, while at the same time asking myself why is this book not more widely read? I am still baffled by that question." - Goodreads Reviewer
