Michael Grothaus is a novelist and author. His latest novel is BEAUTIFUL SHINING PEOPLE, a speculative coming-of-age story set in Tokyo that explores how the things that cast us as outsiders can be the very things that draw us together, and examines whether there is an inherent meaning in the world to come, or if we must create our own.

His debut novel, EPIPHANY JONES, a story about sex trafficking among the Hollywood elite, was longlisted for the CWA New Blood Dagger Award and named one of the 25 “Most Irresistible Hollywood Novels” by Entertainment Weekly.

Michael Grothaus hasn't written any blog posts yet.

“But fearing something and having it come to pass are two different things. And I'm willing to bet most of what we fear will never happen, or we can take steps to change it.”
Michael Grothaus, Beautiful Shining People

“In the renewed silence, the girl studies me as if I’m some kind of still life. And then, though her lips remain perfectly neutral, I can’t help but think I notice her smile. It’s because of how her eyelids shift. Their edges curve downward ever so slightly, like tiny crescent moons.”

“It occurred to me how clear-headed I felt. The fog of jet lag had finally lifted. I thought of the girl from the café. Her sleeveless denim dress and her clear, blue-grey eyes. I suppose I had her to thank for my slumber.”
Michael Grothaus, Beautiful Shining People

“And as soon as she says this, it’s as if a dark shadow has descended across her face. She won’t look at me, and the shine in her eyes has been blown away. Now, they’re as cloudy as the sky before a storm. It’s astonishing really, the change in her demeanour. If I was seeing her for the first time, I’d be sure I was looking at a girl who’s never once laughed or smiled. Matter of fact, I’d be certain she wasn’t capable of it.”

“Who doesn’t like a ghostly love story? It’s comforting.’
‘How so?’
‘That love can last even when there’s no longer a physical body to contain it. Some of the residents have told me they’ve seen their loved ones after they passed. They say just knowing that their spirits are out there makes them feel less alone.”
Michael Grothaus, Beautiful Shining People
