Here's my standard bio: Mike’s fiction, memoir and nonfiction can be found in Tin House, Foglifter, Tahoma Literary Review, Oyster River Pages and other magazines. He is the author of Criminals (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GRTWYBF), a literary thriller that was selected for Best Books of 2022 by Kirkus Reviews (starred review), the upbeat scifi romance Red Dot (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GR7PH2B) and contemporary social comedy The Wealthy Whites of Williamsburg (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BM6L7D73), winner of Best LGBTQ novel at the San Francisco Book Festival! He lives with his husband and dog in San Francisco.

Here's what's new: I am getting into being a publisher not just of my work but of others. It's hard, but fun! And the press's first non-me book earned a starred review from Kirkus! So please check it out: blue: season, by Chris Lombardi. And Susie Hara's The House on Ashbury Street is getting a lot of love--you can even buy it at the San Francisco International Airport (Compass Books). And now we have a forthcoming new release: Wendy Schultz's River of Light, up for pre-orders on Amazon starting January 21, 2024.
I moved around so much the first three decades of my life that I didn't feel like I was from anywhere, but have now become quite rooted in San Francisco, lived in the same house for nearly decades, and with the same man for actual decades, which is the real form of being from somewhere: spending your life with someone you love.
