edit data

M.C. is a genre acrobat, alternating between YA-space operas and tales of Bizarro humor. He touches upon many different topics such as conspiracies, the occult and fringe societies.

As a co-editor for Fireside Press, M.C. works like a chimp to provide fine anthologies which delve into the odd and oblique for other writers who are ready to brave cult media waters.

He claims his heroes are Johnny Ryan, Ernest Borgnine and Soupy Sails.
