Michael Thompson's indie author journey began at the age of thirteen with the release of his first Chicken Boy book, a rewrite of a story he made in his fourth-grade class about a chicken who eats radioactive birdseed and becomes a superhero, and the friends who help him save the world. Michael has gone on to share his love of writing and illustrating as an inspirational speaker, earn national acclaim in the Feathered Quill Book Awards for his novels, World of the Orb and Winslow Hoffner's Incredible Encounters, and channel his passion for storytelling in many other genres and mediums. Over the years, the fandom for Michael's original tale endured. Chicken Boy and the Might of the Monkey Man marks the triumphant return of the Winged Defender, the character of Michael's first-ever story, and a superhero with many more adventures in store.To learn more about Michael's award-winning works, visit: MichaelThompsonBooks.com
