Mike Dixon


Biography

Mike either started off on the wrong foot or he’s the legendry rolling stone. Normally, a degree in astrophysics does not lead to a stint in Parliament House, public relations and the diving industry but that’s what happened to him. He’s now retired in the sense that he no longer needs to work for a living and that gives him time for writing. His eventful life has provided a lot of background material for his novels.
