Michael Gary Wirth

Hailing from central New Jersey, Michael Wirth has always had a penchant for the film industry. From a young age, he devoured any movie he could, from “Citizen Kane” to "Ghostbusters." When the time came to decide on his future (known during high school years as ‘choosing a major’) Michael settled on Electronic Filmmaking at New Jersey’s Fairleigh Dickinson University.

However, two semesters into the program, Michael left FDU to pursue what he felt was a more “stable” career as a graphic designer. He received a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Communications but soon realized that his passion didn’t lie in graphic arts but in writing instead, so he set out to write his first full length novel, "The Non-Linear Flow of the Universal Tides," and its sequel, "The Relentless Pursuit of the Cosmic Awareness." He followed up this series with a techno-detective-noir mystery, “Imperfect Recall.”

With three full-length novels under his belt, he looked to recapture his original passion: movies and filmmaking. Michael met and collaborated with director Louie Cortes and co-wrote the short film “Eve,” which is currently being solicited to film festivals while available to view on Vimeo.

Michael dabbled in online journalism for a bit, with a focus on pop culture. He has written for outlets like Sub-Cultured.com and ComicBooked.com, where he also acted as an Assistance Managing Editor, providing reviews for movies, books and comic books as well as breaking news for the discerning geek.

When he isn’t navigating bowling alley dimensions or helping to solve the mystery of a billionaire tech genius’ death, Michael enjoys travelling with his beautiful wife, Lauren, with whom he’s visited several countries and experienced new and exciting things that help to expand his understanding of the world and enrich his writing. He also has a cat.
