I have been writing science fiction and fantasy stories for many years. My writing has an edge to it. I enjoy exploring the dark and surreal landscapes of the mind.

My first fantasy novel, The Crystal Warrior, has just been released. I am currently working on book two in the series.

I also have a science fiction collection called Skin of Giants.

I grew up in Washington State, went to college in New Mexico, and now live in Minnesota. I am an Engineering Consultant (nerd) for a large retail corporation during the day, and a fiction writer / musician at night.

I live in the suburbs, just north of Minneapolis, with one wife (dancer), one kid (boy), and two cats (fat).

“But it’s hard to get through to someone with the emotional development of the average ferret”
Mike Cooley, How To Keep Sparkly Emo Vampires Off Your Lawn

“First I tried some Neil Diamond, thinking that if anything was going to make the undead run for the hills it would be a nice, loud rendition of Cracklin’ Rosie. But those coldsickles actually seemed to enjoy it. Very disturbing.”
Mike Cooley, How To Keep Sparkly Emo Vampires Off Your Lawn

“I don’t need no drama with no girls with such low self-esteem they can’t even date someone who’s still alive. I mean, who needs that? And the whining! It’s just too much”
Mike Cooley, How To Keep Sparkly Emo Vampires Off Your Lawn
