Michael Tierney has been writing since he learned to spell his first two words, Stop and Go, which he used to complete a crude comic strip about military tanks crossing hills and rivers. In High School he was editor of the school paper and went to the State Finals in Journalism. It was at this time his first science fiction tale of the Wild Stars was published in the fan pages of Eerie magazine. By the age of 22 he was managing a printing division of International Graphics and had already released a self-published magazine of his art and stories: The Multiversal Scribe. Now an elected City Councilman, he has been a book retailer since 1982, was a finalist for multiple retailer awards and an Overstreet Price Guide Advisor since 1999--writing over a thousand industry articles and reviews. His Wild Stars comics from the 1980s through the early 2000s have been collected into Wild Stars: The Book of Circles--Recalibrated. He also wrote a Wild Stars role playing game for Trolllords Games, and continues to release a new Wild Stars novel every year through Cirsova Magazine of Thrilling Adventure and Daring Suspense. Cirsova subsequently releases them in hardcover and magazine formats, and has collected his first four books into a massive Omnibus that includes a compendium of characters, places, and events. Cirsova also published other short stories and essays by Michael including his posthumous collaboration with Edgar Rice Burroughs on Young Tarzan and the Mysterious She. He writes, letters, and colors the online comic strip, Beyond the Farthest Star, for ERB, Inc., and created the four volume Edgar Rice Burroughs 100 Year Art Chronology. His four volume Robert E. Howard Art Chronology is coming soon. For recreation he travels the world to dangerous locations while wearing a mask, his hobby being underwater photography and a favorite subject sharks.

If taking a college fencing class, eating from the trash can, and smelling like an animal were qualifications for becoming a sword-swinging barbarian, J. D. Brink might be Conan’s protégé.

Instead, he's become a nurse and teacher, sailor and officer, husband and father. In those few quiet moments between doing all of those things, he writes science fiction, fantasy, superheroes, horror, crime-noir, and other hallucinations.
