Michael Frank Rizzo

Hello there! My name is Michael Rizzo, and I am a thirty-two-year-old fantasy fiction writer, who works in finance during the day and often spends evenings writing and creating my fantasy world of Asterra. When not exploring the magical wonders of Asterra, I enjoy indulging my love for adventure with family trips throughout Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. In my spare time, I also enjoy hanging out with my dogs and playing guitar in my rock band.

My first book, Tales of Asterra, was published in 2023, and it is a high-fantasy fiction anthology that contains 14 short stories and one poem. My second book, To Sow a Fallow, was published in 2024, and it is a young-adult fantasy fiction novel, which also takes place in Asterra and is filled with mystery and action. Asterra is an ever-growing fantasy world with a vibrant history and a plethora of magical tales.
