Michael H. Hanson was born in New York State’s Northcountry, a vast landscape of rivers, forests, and farms. A transplanted New Yorker, Michael acquired dual-citizenship with his name being entered into Ireland's Foreign Births Entry Book. A haunted Sagittarian, he presently resides in Colorado where he spends his free time spinning both tales of the fantastic, and introspective poetry, while contemplating the beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
