Michael K. Falciani was born and raised in upstate New York. He served nine years in the US Army Reserve and the National Guard retiring from the service at the ripe old age of 25. He graduated with his bachelor’s degree in education and has been teaching for the last 22 years. An avid reader in his youth, Michael turned his hand to writing and has never looked back. He is currently working on a six-book epic fantasy series titled, The Raven and the Crow. The first book of the series, Dark Storm Rising, is slated to be released on June 15th, 2021. Michael is also working on a dwarven steampunk novel, along with trying his hand at urban fantasy. His short story, “Hell Hath No Fury,” has been written for an Anthology for Three Ravens Publishing.

He plans on continuing his passion for writing for as long as he can.
