Many years ago The University of Texas at Austin granted me a degree in anthropology which, naturally, lead me to a career as a professional actor! I've acted in over fifty theater productions, forty television shows, and choreographed dozens of sword fights for stage and screen. Now, writing historical fiction captivates me. It's true, Life's a twisty-turny trail. There's a psychological study that says that of all occupations, actors rate highest on the scale of "shyness." That's true of me. . .except when I wrestle my seventeen and twenty-year old sons! Meanwhile, my wife provides encouragement, excitement, and common sense. I also wrestle our pet hamster on a regular basis. I usually win. Visit Greg at http://www.greg-michaels.com.
