Michael Horton


Biography

Michael Horton is a storyteller living in northern Atlanta. In 2009 he earned his BFA in Game Art and Design, but in 2010 he began his pursuit of professional writing "for real this time." His debut novel, Devil Have Mercy, was accepted for publication that following year. He continues to draw pixel art and obsess over geeky statistics as a side-side-side hobby, but writing consumes most of his time. While Michael has never seen a real life pegasus and would be too afraid to ride one, he is sure the experience would be amazing. You know. Probably.

Smashwords book reviews by Michael Horton

  • Cat and Meese on Jan. 04, 2012

    I rarely write reviews for books, but Cat and Meese combines two of my favorite things in fantasy (magic and guns). The writing is quick and sharp, the action is visceral, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of these characters in the future. Fans of action-oriented modern fantasy shouldn't miss it.
