 Michael
Beres' experiences during the Cold War and his interest
in the environment have shaped his novels. With degrees in
computer science, math, and literature, he worked for the
government, holding a top-secret security clearance, and in
the private sector, documenting analytical software. His fiction
reflects our age of environmental uncertainty and political
treachery.
A Canadian publisher
published Michael's first novel Sunstrike in the eighties
when environmental and political conspiracies
were considered tall tales. Today we know differently. Medallion
Press published Michael's environmental novel Grand Traverse in 2005. It presents a realistic portrait of our frightening
near future. His 2006 release, political thriller The
President's Nemesis, was compared to The Manchurian
Candidate by Library
Journal and dubbed "a nail-biting thriller" by Midwest
Review.
A Chicago native now living in West Michigan, Michael is
a member of the Mystery Writers of America, International
Thriller Writers, and the Sierra Club. He has driven a low-emissions
hybrid vehicle since the beginning of the technology. His
short stories have appeared in: Amazing Stories, Amazon
Shorts, the American Fiction Collection, Alfred Hitchcock
Mystery
Magazine, Ascent, Cosmopolitan, Ellery Queen, Michigan Quarterly
Review, The Missouri Review, New York Stories, Papyrus, Playboy,
Pulpsmith, Skylark, and Twilight Zone.
