Michael Gorton has written books that entertain, educate, and inspire. The Tachyon Tunnel series combines time travel, romance, adventure, and great mysteries of science into a novel that takes fiction to an all-new level!
Michael grew up as an Air Force brat in a lower middle-class family. Because of great influence from his parents and four siblings, Michael reached for the stars. With virtually no money in his pocket, he went off to college and earned degrees in Physics, Engineering and Law - all while working full time. After working 11 years as an engineer in corporate America, he is now a serial entrepreneur who has founded 16 companies. Amongst those are notables: Internet Global, Palo Duro Records and TelaDoc, now the world’s largest telemedicine company. Michael has been a prolific writer, authoring technical articles on a wide range of topics including Internet, power systems, remote metering and disconnect, solar, electric vehicles, healthcare, telemedicine, astronomy, physics and music.
Broken Handoff was Michael's first business book. It was the amalgamation of three decades as an entrepreneur developing companies. The two authors bring a wealth of new perspectives that addresses one of the biggest problems in funding and M&A events. Broken Handoff was named the #1 M&A book in 2019 by Book Authority and has been in the Top 10 on Amazon's chart.
Forefathers & Founding Fathers was Michael’s 5th novel, earned several awards, and reached the #1 slot in Historic Fiction on Amazon's chart. The first four: USSA, Lex Talionis, Tachyon Tunnel, and Born Again American were all written for fun with the intent of giving copies to a small group of friends and family. That was in fact the goal with Forefathers, but while researching the topic, Gorton realized this was an important and unknown story that needed to be heard. Forefathers has received positive reviews from some of the world's best-known authors, including best-selling author Mark Victor Hansen (Chicken Soup for the Soul) and Jim Stovall (The Ultimate Gift).
Michael is a runner, martial artist and mountain climber. He and his family are currently climbing the highest points of elevation in the fifty states. They have 42 done.
Michael is an 11th generation descendant of Samuel Gorton. His lineage is: Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Benjamin, Amos, Oliver, Guy, Dayton, DeForest, Everett (dad).
