Michael HH Warren

Biography

Michael HH Warren began writing about his life during the South African winter of 2009. Driven by a strong desire to tell his story, what began as a creative outlet would eventually become his first book, In The Name Of God. The writing bug has bitten, and Michael has since published several novels. A far cry from his memoir, these books are aimed at teens/young adults who represent Generation Z (GenZ). Still having a passion for the world of non-fiction, Michael has several ideas presently evolving into draft manuscripts. He lives with his wife, two children and three Jack Russells.

Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in Pretoria, in Apartheid South Africa. Without doubt, this has had a major influence on some of my writings.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
If I can recall so far back, the first two real books of substance that I tackled were Jules Verne’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” (given to me by my step-grandmother) and Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” (given to me by my parents) when I was barely a teenager – both of these epic classics unlocked my imagination like the proverbial Pandora’s Box.

Smashwords book reviews by Michael HH Warren

  • The Case Against Tongues: Weighing up the Evidence on Oct. 20, 2016

    Gordon L Swanepoel has skillfully, candidly and in all sincerity successfully played the role of both prosecutorial lawyer and lawyer for the defense in his book: The Case against Tongues: Weighing up the Evidence. As prosecutor, he tackles the sincere (or possibly even the duplicitous) error in the Charismatic, Pentecostal and Word of Faith churches that promote and practice speaking in tongues. As the defendant for scripture, he displays with clarity the truth of The Word and what it says about speaking in tongues. This is a facinating discourse on apologetics, which lays out the undeniable and indisputable evidence against a particular and troublesome latter day practice in many Christian quarters, the world over.
