Michael Pless is a happily-married father of two. He has held a variety of jobs over the years, starting at a garage whilst still in high school. He then served as an apprentice optical craftsman before commencing studies in chemistry and biochemistry, earning a Degree of Bachelor of Applied Science at Swinburne Institute of Technology. This led to a career as a forensic scientist. He left this career to help raise his two lovely daughters.

During his time he has studied computer simulation and programming, and completed the requirement for a Diploma of Media Studies. With only small publishing success (and barely any more submissions), he ceased writing for a while, but has returned and this is his first completed novel. He is working on a sequel.

Currently, he writes and coaches archery part-time, sharing his efforts equally between the two.
He lives in Melbourne, Australia. If you wish, you can find him on Facebook.
