Michael LaRocca

Michael LaRocca was included in the 1982 Who's Who in American Writing before vanishing from the literary scene for 20 years. His published works include a short story anthology, 20 novels, and seven nonfiction works.

Michael is a crotchety old fart who lived in China for six years, Thailand for five years, and Vietnam for one year before returning to North Carolina in 2011, then returning to Florida in 2023. He's a reading junkie, a bicycle nut, an avid hiker, and an NFL addict. He enjoys playing guitar for his wife and their dog.

Michael has been a medical lecturer, an English teacher, a technical editor, a purchasing manager, a computer programmer, a repo man, an unarmed security guard with a bad attitude, a dishwasher, a busboy, a military electronics specialist, a house cleaner, a gas pumper, a car washer, and a pet sitter. He's also been paid to masturbate boars, but he made sure nobody took photos.
