Michael MoranMichael Moran is a thirty-one-year-old English middle school teacher. He has a bachelor's degree in English education and a master's degree in educational leadership, both from Florida International University. He previously self-published a four-hunred-page gaming book called TIER: The Enhanced Roleplaying Game. It took him five years to write and revise the TIER book, and it sold over three hundred copies. It also took him three years to write and revise the Believers novel with the help of Scholastic, AuthorHouse, classroom students, family, and friends. This novel is the first book of a trilogy series, and he has all notes and plans ready to write the next two books. Before teaching and writing books, Michael Moran was adventurous and tried different activities to test the waters, literally. He was a lifeguard for seven years, working for beaches and water parks. He was also a sailing instructor for eight years at a summer sailing camp. He was caught in storms several times and was afraid he wouldn't make it back to shore, but his stubbornness and determination luckily prevailed. His friends and family say that his best qualities are his kindness and love for helping others. He often volunteers to be the designated driver and makes sure everyone has fun and arrives safely at their destinations, whether it's a wild party or formal event. At the end of the day, Michael is known for being a good friend, husband, and son. Read More Read Less
