Please welcome Author Michael Meyers to my blog today!
Author bio:
INTERNATIONAL
BESTSELLING AUTHOR of mysteries, thrillers, humorous fiction, and non-fiction:
Love and romance, laughter and tears, thrills and fears.
I have resided in and
have visited many places in the world, all of which have contributed in some
way to my own published writing. I have literally traveled throughout the
world, on numerous occasions. I have lived in Finland, Germany, Thailand, Saudi
Arabia (where COVERT DREAMS is set), and the U.S. Virgin Islands (where DEADLY
EYES is set). I gained the wanderlust to see the world, to experience other
cultures, at an early age, and this desire has never left me. If anything, it has
only gained in intensity as I have aged. I try to travel internationally at
least once a year. In the interim, I spend lots of time traveling around both
my home state of California and other nearby states.
I spent my early years in
the small town of Lone Pine, California, the home of almost every western
movie, in addition to a wide variety of other genres, made in the 30's, 40's,
50's, and 60's. In fact, Hollywood still films parts of big-time movies there
today. My dad, the town's lifeguard at the time, personally knew John Wayne,
Lloyd Bridges, and Lee Marvin, all of whom came to the town's pool, the
Memorial Plunge, at times to cool off after a hectic day of working in the sun.
I was even an extra in a movie filmed there in 1957, MONOLITH MONSTERS, a B-cult
favorite even today. I was ten years old at the time. Even though I resided in
a small town hours from the big city, I was exposed to the excitement of action
and heroes at a formative age, and, thus, my interest in writing novels of
suspense such as COVERT DREAMS and DEADLY EYES was born. I am particularly
proud of the fact that these two international suspense thrillers are rated #1
and #2 on the Goodreads Recommended Thriller/Suspense list.
As a recent retiree from
a forty-year career as a professor of writing, I now live in Southern
California wine country with my wife, Kitty, and our two adorable rescue cats.
SPECIAL NOTE: COVERT
DREAMS has recently received a Compulsion Reads endorsement. For those of you
who are unfamiliar with Compulsion Reads, this company specializes in reviewing
and endorsing those novels that meet its quality standards based on the
fundamental qualities of good storytelling. Many books that the company reviews
don't earn their endorsement, so this is a pretty big deal.
THE THREE KITTIES THAT SAVED MY LIFE – an uplifting
true story of love
Losing
loved ones is an awful fact of life; losing one's loving spouse, one's
day-to-day partner through life, especially in the prime of life, is one of the
most unbearable tolls that we humans are forced to endure. This is the true
story of my journey from grieving widower, not caring if I lived or died, to
the once-again happily married man I am today, a man who both loves and
cherishes life. My three kitties have given me a new zest for living.
Both inspiring and entertaining, my story is filled with laughter as well as tears, and you will certainly find yourself moved by my journey.

EXCERPT:
It is amazing how time helps. In time, I
have learned to overcome my own albatross. I have learned to live again, to
love again. Life is a gift reads a plaque on our dining room wall, and
that sums up what I have gained from the three kitties that saved my life. From
Coco, I learned to care again. From Kitty, I learned to love again. From Pom Pom,
I have learned how to cope with my own demons, the effects of aging being one
of these. Pom Pom has taught me to accept what is and then to move onward. Yes,
I have learned plenty from my three kitties.
My journey has been a long one, a difficult
one at times, but it has a happy ending. The three kitties in my life have made
it so. They have all helped me to become the happy-to-be-alive man that I am
today. I now accept rather than cope. I live each day to the
fullest, knowing full well that life is a gift, and a very precious one
at that. I look back on my life and I often think that I must be the luckiest
man in the world. I have so much to be thankful for. The wonderment and beauty
of life are both so dear to me.
And,
to add a delicious icing to the lovely taste of my life, I can say with total
honesty to the whole world, my voice booming into the sky, my dancing feet not
caring in the least who might see me, that I have been very fortunate to have
done something that brings more sheer delight and wonderful pride to me than
anything else that I have accomplished in my life: I have fallen madly,
heads-over-heels in love not once, but twice, and how many others can say that?
