I studied in Canada at the prestigious Emily Carr College of Art and Design. I have written and directed independent films of the fantasy genre, and I have two satirical stories published in print. While living in Europe I was inspired to write "Creator." I am also a successful satirist of an award winning literary web site, which has been viewed by millions of visitors: www.naked-t.com. I am an excellent entertainer who gets to the nitty-gritty of the truth through humour and irony. Likewise, I have a deep understanding of European history. When the Berlin wall fell, and the cold war ended, I was there working for the news. Later while traveling around Italy and Spain I absorbed a rich sense and knowledge of early European civilization, which only fuelled my fascination for the Roman Empire, not only helping to make "Creator" an exciting book, but giving it a greater sense of historical realism. I have worked on Hollywood films, for German television, and for the Global TV network. I currently live in Canada with my wonderful wife and children. I come from a talented vein of writers and artists. My great cousin John Galsworthy was a Nobel prize winning Elizabethan author, and my cousin, the newly crowned king of modern art, Simon Starling, is the 2005 Turner Prize winner. Thanks so much, Michael
