Michael R. Fletcher is too lazy to write his own Biography and has promised me a bottle of whiskey to do it for him. I know several things about the man and I’m sure I can string these out to fill the space. He’s Canadian, he recently placed 2nd in possibly the most prestigious literary contest for fantasy, and his middle name is just the letter R.

His debut book tops all the charts that rate books by grimdark content. So, open with tongs and leave at least an hour after meals before reading. Surprisingly, he has a wife and daughter!

To conclude. I was not coerced into writing this. Mr. Fletcher is a real person.
