Introduction Writer, reader, ranter; The Mike likes an eclectic range of things, but not bananas. He started writing stories before he could write by hand, sticking printed words together to form the sentences in his first days of school, then bothering the teacher to print off more so he could complete his epic. Due to injury, he can't write by hand nowadays either, but nonetheless he has written two books, many short stories, articles and essays and needs somewhere to share his work and his interests with people who won't tell him to shut up whenever he starts rambling. Thus, this blog is born.
