ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Michael J. Atwood is a graduate of the University of Southern California's Master of Professional Writing program and Boston College and has published four books since 2010. Atwood's first short story collection, HiStory of Santa Monica: Stories was published by Aqueous Books in Pensacola, Florida. The collection was a "minor-league" success selling many copies. In 2016, Atwood published HiStory of Santa Monica II: More Stories. Both collections shared the thread of disillusioned characters, struggling to survive in Hollywood. In 2021, he shifted into the mystery, suspense, and detective genres, when he published Delirium Fades, his best-selling book to date.


Atwood's full-time passion is as an AP Language & Literature and Composition teacher at New Bedford High School. He has written for a few publications including The Boston Globe, Patriot Ledger, North Attleborough Free Press, and Attleboro Sun Chronicle. He is currently working on his first novel, Reparation Avenue, as well as hosting three podcasts on AP Language and Literature & Composition, Creativity, and Marathon Training to be released in 2023.
