THE SNOW INTERVIEWS: MEET MICHAEL GORDON!

I am fortunate to work with some amazing people on the Snow books and I wanted to give readers a chance to get to know the talent behind the scenes.

Michael Gordon is the editor of more recent books in the Snow series. In addition to editing, Mike is also a writer (Tiki Zombie, Walking The Wider Web, Galloping Across The Cosmos), a publisher at New Legend Productions (Dragon Tales, Tiki Zombie), and podcaster (Earth Station One, Earth Station Who, Bat-Chums, ESO's Dragon Con Report, and more).

And now, meet Michael Gordon.

1. Tell us a bit about yourself and your background. How did you get into writing and editing?

For as long as I can remember, I've always enjoyed stories and storytelling. Thanks to my parents, I began reading from an early age and it wasn't long before I started creating my own stories. English was my favorite subject in elementary and high school, and my major in college was narrative studies. Outside of school, I was writing short stories, scripts, and movie reviews. In 2007, my first book was published, "The Untold Origins of Invisible Scarlet O'Neil" by Atlantis Studios and I'm proud to have participated in many other projects since then as a writer and/or editor, including many by my own company, New Legend Productions.

2. Who is Abraham Snow?

Abraham is the main character of the Snow series by Bobby Nash and a throwback to the action-oriented private detectives such as Jim Rockford, Thomas Magnum, and David Spenser. He might not have genius-level deductive abilities, but he is a blue collar hard worker with a bit of charm and never hesitates to push himself to the limit despite having a heart condition that makes even some of the most basic tasks life threatening.

3. What draws you to the various characters in the Snow series?

Bobby Nash has surrounded Abraham with a top-notch cast of characters that not only have his back, but also keep him grounded. Whether they are actual blood relations or found family friends and colleagues, each one is strong enough in character to easily be featured in his or her own solo adventure.

4. Why should people be reading or listening to the Snow books?

Bobby Nash's Snow books are well-crafted action thrill rides featuring compelling characters and I'm very proud to contribute any way I can. If you're a fan of retro tv shows such as The Rockford Files, Magnum P.I. and Spencer for Hire or recent series like Burn Notice and Bosch, you'll find a familiar vibe with this series. So however you enjoy your books, turning pages or turning up the volume, pick up one of Abraham's adventures and let it Snow!

5. Where can people learn more about you and your work?

Thank you, Mike.
