In this, his debut novel, Michael uses the backdrop of medieval history to craft a story about ordinary people standing up against tyranny. His extensive global travels have afforded him invaluable insights into diverse social frameworks, belief systems, and cultural traditions, all of which have been woven into the tapestry of this narrative. He hopes this novel will transport readers back in time while also showcasing themes of courage in the face of adversity that are still relevant today. He looks forward to sharing more stories from his lifelong fascination with history. When not immersed in the craft of writing, Michael immerses himself in the realms of psychology, societal constructs, and technological advancements. Michael lives in Nova Scotia, Canada, with his wife, Rufina.
