MEET THE AUTHOR
FEATURED AUTHOR: MICHAEL W. HOLMAN
Hi Clubs here! Today SBC welcomes the wonderfully gifted Paranormal Romance and Sci Fi author Michael W. Holman!
Hi Michael, how about we start by GETTING TO KNOW YOU. What GENRE DO YOU WRITE?
Paranormal romance fiction to this point, but a science fiction novel “waits in the wings”. Why? Since I’m an adult, I have an idea how relationships between people can go, but what if supernatural entities get swirled into the mix? There’s a whole additional set of rules and variables. It creates a challenge for me as an author, and I thrive on challenges.
Michael, can you please share the TITLES OF YOUR BOOKS?
“RESOLVE AND RETRIBUTION,” “RETURNS AND REUNIONS,” “RESPONSE AND REWARDS” (these three, a vampire trilogy, will be re-written and submitted to a literary agency when the ghost story I’m working on currently, “THE STEIN AND THE STUDEBAKER,” is completed)
Just released: my collection of four short stories entitled “THE NEFARIOUS, NOBLE & NOCTURNAL: A COMPILATION”
I’ll be submitting my re-written R & R vampire trilogy, and a mermaid/vampire thriller entitled “FANGS, FINS AND FORTUNES” I’ve not yet completed to literary agents with a pen name, but have not decided on which one I’ll use yet.
Outside of writing what are SOME OF YOUR OTHER INTERESTS?
I’m apt to read a wide range of fiction genres, from fantasy to historical to action/thrillers, hiking, and I’ll gradually work my way into long distance running again after a lengthy time off due to a lower back injury. I like to unwind by listening to instrumental music pieces, and that includes bagpipes. (music,etc.)
Agreed, music is great way to unwind. (Clubs)
Let’s switch gears a bit and talk ABOUT THE BOOKS. Any traces of YOUR PERSONALITY IN YOUR MAIN CHARACTER?
Yes, there are traces of my personality in all four primary characters that appear in this compilation; I’m gullible, determined, headstrong, and loyal, usually in the same day, from what my family and friends tell me.
What are PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT YOUR BOOK?
THE NEFARIOUS, NOBLE & NOCTURNAL: A COMPILATION--“Refreshing, haunting, stunning descriptions, and fun pops of humor; 4 stars, like it a lot”—Author Lexi Miles
What is ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT WRITING?
In my opinion, that’s settling on a specific “what if” and seeing where it goes. What an adventure!
What is one of the BEST PIECES OF ADVICE THAT YOU RECEIVED OR A QUOTE THAT YOU LIVE BY?
“Your book, your rules.” (That’s from one of my teammates at my day job.)
Love that! That is very true! (Clubs)
What is one thing that you would LIKE TO SAY TO YOUR READERS?
I work full time for a state agency, but there’s always more fiction coming, one way or another.

What’s NEXT FOR YOU?
I am all about finishing my novel-in-progress when I’m not on duty with the Customer Database Unit.
What is the NAME OF YOUR UPCOMING RELEASE?
“THE STEIN AND THE STUDEBAKER”.
What should people EXPECT TO SEE FROM YOU IN THE FUTURE?
As I mentionHOed earlier, to this point I’ve written paranormal romances, and that’s the genre these next two novels on deck are, but there’s a science fiction story coming as well. I intend to finish writing “TIM CANNON CHRONICLES: THE CONQUEST OF CHAOS” sometime in late 2019. I’ll begin work on “FANGS, FINS & FORTUNES” once my current novel is completed.
ANY EVENTS YOU WANT TO SHARE that you will be appearing at in the near future?
There are no scheduled events at this time.
What are you MOST EXCITED ABOUT?
I’m excited to eventually present readers with a ghost story that features a 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk with a Packard 352 V8 engine under its hood—but doesn’t run on gasoline. My intent is to type “The End” on its final page this coming autumn.
And we here at SBC are looking forward to reading it! (Clubs)
