"The Madwoman"

Michael says, "I seem to be something of an eclectic writer, or perhaps just an indecisive one. Unable to choose a genre, I write everything from horror and dark fantasy to historical fiction. I live in San Diego with my very eclectic little family and a small zoo of furry critters. I am currently working on my first novel, a historical fantasy set in Renaissance-era England." This is the first story Michael has had published and thanks author Storm Constantine for inspiration… for this story, and many other worlds.
