Louisville, KY (PRWEB) October 4, 2010
Otherworld Publications is thrilled to announce the 2011 publication line-up. We have another exciting year ahead of us.
About the Authors:
Michael Wallace
Michael Wallace grew up reading all the history texts and novels he could find. His library shelves are filled with a range of genres from H.G Wells and Jules Verne to Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy. It is only natural he writes thriller adventures with a science fiction twist and some history thrown in for fun. At the point the reader becomes comfortable with the pace of his stories, he will hit you with a plot twist, which will change the game.
His first novel, The Red Fire Fly, broke new ground when it was released with its own soundtrack. The combination of music with a novel adds a third dimension by letting the readers hear the background of the scenes.
He lives in Colorado where on weekends you will find him rock climbing, or kayaking, or backpacking, or snowshoeing, or hiking, but most likely, you will find him running a trail somewhere. He runs 30 to 40 miles a week and he does it barefoot. Yep, he is one of those insane barefoot runners and to make it worse he hopes to one day run in all the stages of the Four Deserts Race. You can learn more about him and his books at http://thehashwriter.com.
