He spent his late twenties living halfway around the world in the beautiful subtropical city of Auckland, New Zealand—which is where he’d live if he had an unlimited-money cheat code in life. Or citizenship.

Just released my debut book!

Yup, the time has finally come. Mike Marsbergen has just released his debut book. Is it a novel? Not really. It's a book of short stories, all of them standalones, but yet at the same time there's something about them that feels as though they could all be linked together.

ANOTHER LIFE AND OTHER MINDBENDING SCI-FI STORIES

Featuring nine tales of speculative fiction, plus a prologue and an epilogue.

“I don’t understand the hatred and fear of gays and bisexuals and lesbians…
it’s a concept I honestly cannot grasp. To me, it’s not who you love…
a man, a woman, what have you…
it’s the fact that you love. That is all that truly matters.”
