Michael Reisig is one of those rare writers that can make you laugh, cry, and even shiver with the stroke of his pen.

Whether you read his humorous An Old Man's Letters, the fast-paced action thriller The New Madrid Run, the "out-of-this-world" thriller The Hawks of Kamalon, or The Fledgling Author's Handbook, you'll love his style and wit.

If you need information for your college or writer's guild on Michael Reisig's lecture series, "The Myths, the Truths, and the Lies About Publishing and Marketing Books," e-mail him at reisig@ipa.net.
