Michael Blatherwick

Michael Blatherwick was born and raised in New Jersey and has spent many years traveling the US as well as work assignments in the United Kingdom and India. A graduate of Villanova University, he resides in Bordentown, New Jersey, with his wife, dog, and their loyal army of cats, permanent, feral, and foster.

Michael is a fan of a wide array of authors and genres, citing his main influences as Michael Lewis, T.C. Boyle, Michael Chabon, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Margaret Atwood. He believes that the best fiction has firm roots in "believability" but pushes the imagination to the fringe between truth and fantasy.

As the author of the Photograph Chronicles, Michael released the third book of the first trilogy arc in September of 2024. His next series was released in fall 2024, The Lobster Princess, a fantasy based on a fictional version of Maine.
