He also adapted HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE for the London stage to much acclaim. He has been a professional writer for 25 years and has had many short stories and non fiction pieces on film, TV and London published in that time. He lives in London with his partner Jess and their two children, Connor and Jaime, along with a dwindling number of cats that he hopes will one day manifest into a dog.
Mike lives in London, but also spends a lot of time in Los Angeles trying to make things explode, he’s a member of both the WGAW and The Society of Authors and has a BA in Classical & English Literature and an MA in Postmodern Detective Fiction & Westerns which, surprisingly, he finds the occasional use for.
