Inspirations

While at Awesome Con, and live author events, I have been asked what inspires some of my work.

Some of my earliest favorite authors inspired my initial writing style, my topics, and work drew upon Edgar Allen Poe, Robert E. Howard, Tolkien, Michael Moorcock, and Roger Zelazny. Television, movies, Read more of this blog post »

Michael’s Quotes

“I think of myself as a bad writer with big ideas, but I'd rather be that than a big writer with bad ideas.”

“I like libraries. It makes me feel comfortable and secure to have walls of words, beautiful and wise, all around me. I always feel better when I can see that there is something to hold back the shadows.”
― Roger Zelazny, Nine Princes in Amber

“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.”
― Stephen King
