About

So you want to know about me ?

I write novels. Plain and simple. My day is filled with playing silly iPad games, watching videos and writing books.

I cannot just sit there for hours at a time and write. I need distractions. I write fifteen minutes in the hour sometime longer when the Muses grab me. This I do about 8 times in the day. In between are those distractions, playing games and watching videos.

During those distractions though are when some of my best thoughts pop up. I might be fighting mutants in a game and have an idea for the next part of my book. Nothing to do with fighting mutants. I will scribble down a line or if it is a really good idea it is back on the computer and writing away until the idea is down on the page.

Writing is truly my passion. I only wish I did not have to do so much editing and proofreading to turn my first draft into a book. It is the writing I really enjoy but half of the tine is taken up on the refining of the books.

I hope you enjoy my site and see the books that I offer. Take a look around; perhaps you’ll discover what motivates me could bring some pleasure to your life too.

This is the blurb I put about me on my books and in my promotions :

Michael Sheppard writes superhero books. A mild-mannered man whose superheroes are horribly dangerous. His interests are history, politics and writing. He cannot dance but he does love curries.

Sometimes adding :

In everyone there is a hero.
