Sidelined from many volunteer activities by COVID, he revived work on an earlier novel in October 2018.

In his earlier careers, he was an Episcopal priest for forty years and a Naval Reserve Chaplain for thirty.

Shortly after retiring from the ministry, he became involved as a volunteer with an international charitable NGO that deployed Disaster Response Teams and relief supplies all over the world. During his seven years with ShelterBox, he made nineteen two and three-week deployments to nine countries.

Mike’s first book, “IF YOU CAN KEEP IT, The Loss of a Vision”, a political thriller as relevant today as it was when released, was published by Amazon in August 2020. It’s available on Amazon in paper and eBook format. It’s a great prequel to the hit movie “Civil War”!

His most recent book is a historical novel., “EXECUTIVE ORDER 9066”, published in April 2024 by Publish Authority of Atlanta. It is available on Amazon in paper, audiobook, and eBook format.
