Michael White

Biography

Ex-drummer, Ex-software author and Ex-flares wearer Michael White was born and lives in the northwest of England. In a previous life he was the author of many text adventure games that were popular in the early 1980's. Realising that the creation of these games was in itself a form of writing he has since made the move into self-publishing, resulting in many short stories and novellas. Covering an eclectic range of subjects the stories fall increasingly into that "difficult to categorise" genre, causing on-going headaches for the marketing department of his one man publishing company, Eighth Day Publishing.

Having accidentally sacked his marketing director (himself) three times in the last two years, he has now retired to a nice comfortable room where, if he behaves himself, they leave him to write in peace.

In his spare time (!) Michael likes to listen to all kinds of music and is a big fan of Steven Moffat, whether he likes it or not.

Michael is currently working on several new projects and can be contacted at the links below.

Smashwords Interview

What are you working on next?
Wow... lot of things! In the past I have always concentrated on short stories, and the ideas for them come pretty thick and fast, and the lengths of the stories vary from just a few thousand words to 60,000 plus. So now I am working on fell length books and there are a few on the go at the moment.

First will be about 120,000 word book called "Anyone" which is a humorous take on technology of the current day and all of the things we don't know about it.. Following closely on the heels of this is "Overboard" which is a humorous wee pirate ditty.

My overall plan however is my fantasy trilogy, which if there were more than 24 hours in a day would be finished by now. These books are already fully formed up here in my head and go under the titles of "Into the Light", "Back to the Light", and "The Light Within." All I can say is watch this space, as there are a few more titles jostling for space in my head too... titles? How about "Good 'Evans" and A.N. Other I just can't think of a name for yet....
Who are your favorite authors?
Favourite authors are many - Donaldson, Pratchett, Gaiman, Rothfuss, and although this kind of gives a fantasy slant to my reading that is not necessarily the case. I would quite happily read more or less anything at a pinch, but there is no greater feeling than discovering a new author now, is there?

Series

The Complete Adventures of Victoria Neaves & Romney by
Victoria Neaves and her demon assistant Romney first appear in “Victoriana”, a steampunk adventure in which Victoria and Romney are pitted against corrupt British government forces and their diabolical plan to release a deadly micron explosive device upon the Germanic states of Europe. As a member of the officially non-existent assassin’s society, Victoria fell afoul of the dark agents of the British Empire and was captured and experimented on, her captors fitting many augmentations to her body. With Romney’s assistance, she escapes from the British government. She foils their plans, escaping to start a new life away from the government and the assassin’s society. Their second adventures continue in "The Strange Case of the Denwick Beauchamp Fairies", followed by mysterious goings on in a partially burnt-down manor house in, "The Vanished Man". Their next adventure pits the duo against a strange automaton master thief in "The Clockwork Thief of Crickenden Broadwick" before detailing the strange events of "Romney's Day Off." The series concludes with their final tale being, "The Abbot Bowthorpe Dependables". "The Complete Adventures of Victoria & Romney" is available separately.
