A full-time writer, Michael has published numerous articles on photography, investments, and biotechnology. He is the co-author of George Russell's Success by Ten, published by Wiley. Later this year, Liberty Island will be publishing The Violet Crow, the first in a series of novels featuring Bruno X, a psychic detective who uses Mad magazine Yiddish and recycled borsht belt routines to outwit the forces of evil in the Philly suburbs. When left to his own devices, Michael spends his time photographing, fly-fishing, reading history and detective stories and “researching” fine wines.
