Michael Botz was raised by a father who worked in law enforcement in the city of Toledo, Ohio. From those early days listening to his father’s reminiscences a fascination with gritty small town crime stories grew.
Botz worked in the Hollywood television and film industry on projects as varied as the television phenomenon "Friends" to no-budget soft core adult fare that sold a lot better than he would've thought.
For Botz, the best crime novels include at least one overly greedy criminal, a small-town setting, lots of humor and enough twists and turns to keep him reading all through the night.
