J. Michael Robertson is a member of the South Carolina Writer's Workshop and New Hampshire Writer's Project. An avid, long-time reader of fantasy and science fiction, he is a student of ancient civilizations and their military organization and mythology—particularly the Romans, Celts, and Anglo Saxons. His membership in the re-enactment group, the Atholl Brigade, and its participation in historical re-enactments of ancient Scottish battles has given him insight into the fighting techniques of the Highland Scots. This knowledge is woven into his fiction and is reflected in the meticulous detail and vivid battle scenes peppered throughout Warrior of the Three Moons, his first published novel and the sequel, Sunspear. In addition to writing fiction, he also writes poetry. The Flowers of Culloden was published in the Clan Annual of Clan Donnachaidh in Scotland. Sunspear is Book II of the Series; The God Wars of Ithir. The Author is a retired U.S. Air Force officer and currently works as a part-time senior communications systems engineer with The MITRE Corporation. He holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from The Citadel and an MBA in Industrial Management from Farleigh Dickinson University. He is married and the father of two adult children. He and his wife, Jo, reside in their home on the shores of South Carolina’s historic Charleston Harbor.
