Michael Storm

Friends, Michael Storm is a pseudonym. Silly perhaps, but I'll come to the reason for using this one in a minute. I'm a musician at heart, a drummer. While rock drummers don't spring to mind as purveyors of prime intellectual property, yours truly took a stab at cracking the preconception. By writing. Initially for the screen. If seeing one's property turned into animated and live-action images is great, then projecting images onto the screen of a reader's mind must be beyond words. Thus, the next step was to write a book. However, the task of assembling all those thousands of words - scripts, by contrast, retain a luxurious amount of white space - was daunting.

The required boldness followed a personal discovery. Now this matter of Michael Storm. I found out that my grandfather and my great-grandfather were writers - and both of them used the pen name Michael Storm. They wrote stories for several so-called storypapers, that pulpy literary phenomenon of the late 19th early 20th centuries. Indulge me here, when I mention the classic fictional Victorian sleuth Sexton Blake. One of his famous nemeses, George Marsden Plummer, was an invention of my great-grandfather's.

Michael Storm. How could I not?

The Kindle works humbly put to you here reflect a love of character-driven adventure, satirical comedy and science fiction. As I write this, for some reason a quote by Mickey Spillane flutters by: 'If I can't come up with it in ten seconds, I'll make it up.'

Earlier print works including the Pulp7 book series, Roboshop, Solo Connection and Biblegirl are published and managed by Leeway in MD, USA. Contact: myklelee@leewayartisans.com.

I was born in England in 1959 and currently reside in Sweden. For more reading, follow the Galaxy Tour Adventures at blondeplutoz.com. Reach me at: pulp7office@gmail.com.
