Long Author Bio

Christopher Michael is an author, law enforcement professional, and former U.S. Army soldier whose work blends real-world military experience with a lifelong love of cosmic horror. He is the author of Danforth: Eldritch Tales of WWII, a series blending historical fiction with Lovecraftian horror, published by Crystal Lake Publishing.
