Michael J. Nohe is an award-winning author whose genre-bending novels have captivated readers who love their mysteries with a supernatural twist and their horror with a sense of humor.
A retired investment professional, Michael traded the world of finance for the world of fiction, bringing the same analytical mind and attention to detail to crafting intricate plots and memorable characters. His writing is deeply influenced by his love of 1960s music history, which features prominently in his acclaimed paranormal mystery, *The Dead Superstar Bar*.
When he's not conjuring ghosts or trapping characters in haunted malls, Michael can be found on the golf course, hunting for rare coins, tracing his genealogy, or capturing the beauty of Florida through his photography.
He lives in Sarasota, Florida, with his wife, where the sunshine provides a stark—and perhaps necessary—contrast to the darkness he puts on the page.
Michael believes that the best stories are the ones that make you laugh, make you think, and make you check over your shoulder before turning off the lights. His readers would agree.
