Michael James Emberger is an author of thrillers and suspense residing in Wilton, NH. He enjoys weaving narratives of conspiracy and misguided intentions around divisive topics. Where there is debate, there is always room for a villain with goals far out of alignment from either side. Michael is a graduate of Messiah College, where he studied Engineering and met his wife racing solar cars cross-country. When he’s not working on home renovations or writing, he enjoys visiting the ocean and exploring the majesty of God’s creation on the summits of New Hampshire’s mountains.

What’s with the Mermaids?

I released two novels on the same day that include a mermaid theme; Codename Mermaid and Believed. What’s going on? Did my childhood love of the Disney movie finally catch up to me?

Not exactly. It all goes back to a particular friendship and a conversation I had with a critique partner. I had an idea for a tragically sad story involving an old sea captain embarking on a voyage to find the mermaid
