Michael R Hall

I am a graduate of Harvard Law School and most of my writings have been environmental non-fiction, I have a young adult book of historical fiction published (“The Shaman of the Alligewi”). My other passion is to write and read stories for children. The "Chinese Zodiac Bedtime Stories" is my first book for children. I also completed a children's book and plan to publish the book soon.
