Michael Haynes lives in Central Ohio where he helps keep IT systems running by day and puts his characters through the wringer by night. An ardent short story reader and writer, Michael has had stories appear in venues such as Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Intergalactic Medicine Show, and Nature. His website is http://michaelhaynes.info.
When he's not writing, Michael enjoys reading, watching movies, cooking, travel, geocaching, and photography. The last three hobbies are combined in his picture, a photograph taken while at a ruined castle in the Czech Republic where a geocache is located.
