Michael Carroll

Michael Carroll is the author of several novels (for both young adults and old adults), and dozens of short stories, as well as hundreds of articles, reviews and interviews.

Born in Dublin, Ireland in March 1966, Michael has been writing since 1990 when his first published story "The Hummingbirds" appeared in FTL, the Irish Science Fiction Association's fiction magazine. Since then, there has been no stopping him, as any number of disappointed assassins will tell you.

He is married to the charming Leonia and they share their home with a large number of cats, most of whom seem to treat the place like it’s some sort of free feline hotel.

For the Young Adult market, he has written the Pelicos Trilogy (consisting of The Last Starship, Reclaiming the Earth and The Dead Colony), Moonlight, She Fades Away and Renegade. For the adult market there’s a science fiction novel called The Throwback and four romance novels written under the name Jaye Carroll.

He is also the author of the popular New Heroes series of YA novels (published as the Quantum Prophecy series in the USA), consisting of – to date – the novels The Quantum Prophecy, Sakkara and Absolute Power and the limited-edition short-story collection Superhuman.

Michael is a regular at sci-fi conventions from all aspects (member, guest and organiser), and has contributed stories, articles and graphics to hundreds of small-press (and big-press) publications, websites, newspapers and comics.
