Michael J. Schweitzer is a skilled story-teller who
has long been enamoured with the fantasy novel genre.
In writing The Curse of Garnel Ironheart, the
Hamilton author has drawn on his love of the imagination-driven Dungeons
and Dragons game to create a unique fantasy world populated by fascinating,
multi-dimentional people as much on a journey of self-discovery as they
are on a quest to save the world.
His interest in fantasy includes the dream of
seeing the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup in his lifetime.
He also enjoys watching the original Star Trek television series and Star
Trek movies.
The author resides in the old City of Hamilton
with his lovely wife, Adalia, who also has been a creative streak and
is a gifted illustrator.
