Michael was born in England and educated at boarding school in Leicestershire. The family home was near Harrogate in the West Riding of Yorkshire until he moved with his parents and siblings in the mid-60’s to Vancouver in British Columbia. There for several years he worked for CBS Books before establishing his own publishing company, which he later sold to a major US publishing entity in New York. Then in the late nineties Mike moved to the Caribbean and developed and managed a successful boutique hotel.
He migrated to Australia in 2014 and now is happily retired writing and maintaining a rural property on the far south coast of New South Wales. Mike has been married to his wife for forty years and they have two children.
LOST TO TWO WORLDS is Michael’s first serious writing endeavor since the 1970’s to be followed in 2023 by a sequel set in Central America and the Caribbean.
He is also busy writing a semi-autobiographical story, spanning a period of over a hundred years, when a young couple elope to New York on the Queen Mary from England in 1936. What follows is a devastating family tragedy, the consequences of which dramatically impact generations of lives from the onset of the Second World War until this present day.
