After years working in entertainment, he founded AM Ink Publishing and its horror-focused imprint, Dark Ink, with a simple goal: create books driven by passion rather than trends.

As an author, Michael has written or co-written numerous books, including the official biographies of horror legends Tom Savini and Kane Hodder. His collaboration with Steve Gonsalves, the national bestseller A Life with Ghosts, was published by Simon & Schuster  and introduced his work to an even wider audience. Currently, he is working with Danielle Harris and Linnea Quigley on their biographies.  

His fiction ranges from suspenseful novels to dark and unsettling horror. A novel he co-wrote, Pieces, was named an "Essential Read" by Rue Morgue Magazine, while his horror fiction under the pen name Michael Gore, over 100 short stories over four collections, has earned a loyal following among genre readers. 

Beyond writing, Michael has overseen the publication of acclaimed books exploring the making of iconic films, worked with some of the biggest names in horror, and helped bring stories from page to screen. His has sold original film scripts and television pitches and ghost-written numerous articles and pieces for a variety of outlets. Mike’s projects have been adapted into documentary and television productions, translated into multiple languages, and featured by media outlets around the world.

He lives in New England with his family and remains dedicated to helping readers discover new worlds—whether they're terrifying, inspiring, or somewhere in between.
