MJ grew up in New England, spending over 20 years living in Providence, RI. He spent many of those youthful summers reading horror classics from Stephen King and thrillers by the likes of Michael Crichton and James Patterson. MJ always planned to write books "someday." After 30 years working in IT, MJ decided he'd put this dream off long enough. The Tallow Series - his first trilogy - was based on a nightmare. The books follow a set of friends as they head to Cape Cod and find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. While working on the trilogy, MJ attended the intensive three-day "Story" seminar by Robert McKee. For the unaware, Robert is a legend in Hollywood. He breaks down all of the major components of the story: character, scene, setting, etc. Cramming a semester's worth of information into 30 hours is both overwhelming and invigorating. MJ's first novel, Tallow - An Urban Legend, earned Readers' Favorite highest 5-star rating. The reviewer compared MJ's writing style to that of the great Roald Dahl. Humbling, to say the least. After completing the Tallow Series, Level 4 Press hired MJ to co-author the gripping drama FASTER. Dawn of Eve, MJ's next solo novel, is his tribute to every book, show, and movie about a creepy doll. Scary dolls always freaked MJ out, so it only made sense that he wrote a book about one. Dawn of Eve also received a 5-star rating from Readers' Favorite. Skin Deep launched as an episodic thriller on Kindle's Vella app before transitioning to e-book and paperback in June of 2022. Jump to 2023, and MJ has switched genres and is going after . . . children's books! His passion for dogs shines through in what he hopes will be a new long-running series of stories. Now living in Florida, MJ finds inspiration in the most unlikely places. His passion for quality storytelling includes a huge interest in movies. MJ's dream is to have his books made into films - perhaps with him writing the screenplay. You can follow MJ on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. He also has a shop on Redbubble, where he converts his favorite pictures, including book cover designs, into merchandise.
