About Michael
Three years ago I began writing books with a partner in hopes of getting published by a major publishing house. I quickly saw that was not going to work because of the current state of the publishing business. My publishing company is Stagger Lee Books. My first book - "Princess Caitlin's Tiara" - has arrived.

I really enjoyed reading your book. I remember every rock, tree and switchback on every page. Thanks for not painting my dad in too negative of a light. It was a great read!

Michael; I am rooting for you; the book looks fabulous. I helped with the publicity for the book I translated into Spanish. The self published author suddenly had sales from bookstores that she had never heard of. Yes a business like approach is so important. I wish you the best!

I know it must be an overwhelming job as a publisher and to find time to relax is nonexistent. With the clubs and web sites I’m in, I hardly do.
I hope you find this “BOOK CLUB” relaxing without a lot of work related issues. Just enjoy yourself!
