Mike Trial

Mike Trial was born in Missouri, grew up in Saudi Arabia, graduated from the University of Missouri, and worked for a federal agency for thirty years. During his career he worked in the middle east, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles. He is now retired and living on his family tree farm near Columbia, Missouri.

I’ve traveled a good bit, so it’s unsurprising to find settings ranging from northern Italy, to New York City, Los Angeles, Indonesia, and back country Japan in Sarah, Tanker! and Yumoto. But the backgrounds only provide a certain perspective on the universal challenges the characters face.

The book-length reminiscence, White Sky, excerpted here, derives from my years living in Saudi Arabia.

Amethyst Eyes is different. Set in Taos, New Mexico, it’s a short ‘be careful what you wish for’ response to the charismatic vampires in much of today’s paranormal romance.
