About Michael

As to me, I’m a member of the Horror Writers Association with recent publications in The Last Girls Club, Penumbric Speculative Fiction Magazine, and the anthology Dark Corners of the Old Dominion, for which I also served as an editor. More stories are on the way, including a novel or two. 

When it comes to interests, horror, sci-fi, thrillers, and fantasy always light up my brain-o-cules. I especially like it when they poke at the places where our identities, traditions, and faiths tend to crack. What do we do then?

Originally from Ohio, I've published under other names, including Raine Sellers. Once upon a time I earned an MA in English with a focus in Creative Writing. My short stories and poems (poetry happened a long, long, and forgotten time ago) have earned awards and nice mentions. Beyond horror, sci-fi, and fantasy, I’ve spun out some travel stories and personal essays. And I’ve even taught a bit of writing, some of my best memories.

Oh, and my parents named me after a ghost, but I don’t blame them for the sleepless nights.

There are different things to blame for that.

Those are other stories ...
