Autorenporträt
C. Michael Forsyth is a Yale graduate. His first novel Hour of the Beast was hailed by Horror Fiction Review as a "fast-paced, rip-snorting, action-packed, sexy college romp." The Blood of Titans, a love story set in Africa, received a rave review from The Final Call, which called it "worthy of an epic film." Forsyth is a former senior for Weekly World News, the outrageous satirical tabloid. He also penned a children's book Brothers, a cautionary tale about gangs presented as an animal fable. He lives in Greenville, SC.
