K.S. Michaels, who remains hopelessly mired in childhood despite his best efforts, lives in the outskirts
of Plainstown, Illinois. His first book, Tabitha and the Kingdom of Shadows was inspired by the
celebrated appearance of his first grandchild. He has a personal appreciation for the Valley of Ushan and
is enjoying retirement after a long career in pest control. He enjoys spending time with family and
friends, and devotes his spare time to consulting on cordless drill technology.
