Retired after forty-plus years toiling behind a hot microphone in the radio
industry, Michael Nettleton has worked part-time a mentor and tutor to high
school students, a substitute librarian, and a volunteer marketing maven. He
sings, acts in community theater, plunks the baritone ukulele, and scrawls
doggerel about the news of the day. From time to time he plops down in front of
the computer and writes a new book.
From the holy crabcake of Deception at Devil’s Harbor (and its prequel Death at
Devil’s Harbor) to the aged flower child of The Hard Karma Shuffle (and its
sequel The Crushed Velvet Miasma), to the egomaniacal troll of the YA book The
Drum Warrior, he’s co-created a series of memorable characters and situations.
His solo hard-boiled mystery, The Shotgun Kiss, and the joint short story
collection Sucker Punches, round out his resume.
