About

Michaels writing career began at the age of nine writing children’s columns in a local Kentish newspaper. At seventeen, he started writing short stories and poems. After reading hundreds of books, Michael always blamed his nearness to writing thanks to the overly imaginative works of Verne, not because it was his first, it was he who could deliver his then childish mind and make him wonder how someone could vividly paint an invisible image inside his head. Michael was fascinated by the power of literature. Since then he has always enjoyed the pleasure it brought to others. He found it a way to escape from the real world, and insert himself within his own.

Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent. His own supporters turned against him, demanding more than he could give. The haughty Percies precipitated the Battle of Shrewsbury which nearly cost him the throne—and his life.</span><br style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;" /><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">To make matters worse, even after Richard II's funeral, the deposed monarch was rumored to be in Scotland, planning his return. The king just wouldn't stay down and malcontents wanted him back.</span></p>
