Born in Bronx, New York, Michael Paul Kozlowsky is a former high school English/Film teacher and, writing as M.P. Kozlowsky, is the author of four children's books - Frost, Juniper Berry, Rose Coffin and The Dyerville Tales. He lives in New York with his wife, two daughters and a rescue beagle named Huxley, and when he's not reading or playing chess, he continues to write everything from poetry to screenplays to short stories, journalism, philosophy, and books for readers of all ages. SCARECROW HAS A GUN is his first adult novel, a work constructed in the aftermath of a chaotic and failed attempt to capture the trials and tribulations of his childhood, which continue to haunt him until this day. He struggles endlessly with memory's torturous stranglehold over him, as, so he believes, do we all. He still dreams of one day becoming a stand-up comic.
