Michael Simon lives in New Brunswick, on the Canadian East Coast, with his wife and family. To sustain a chronic writing addiction, he works as a family physician, where every day brings its own stories: he's delivered babies, worked 48-hour emergency room shifts, stitched up professional hockey and rugby players, and even treated touring rock bands.
A lifelong reader of sci-fi and fantasy, Michael has published science fiction stories in a number of magazines including Apex: Science Fiction and Horror, Unfit, and Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine. Nonfiction articles have appeared in healthcare, sports and travel magazines. He has found success in several contests including the “SLF Older Writers Grant’ and ‘Writers of the Future’. He is a contributor to the Mythaxis Review and to The Medical Post, where he is a member of the national magazine’s editorial board. Michael is also a seasoned radio columnist with a successful Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) morning show.
Michael is excited to announce the release of two science fiction series in 2025. His First Command trilogy, from Aethon Books, will be available in February, and the first book of his Extinction series, from Podium Entertainment, will be released in April.
When not writing or practicing medicine, Michael can be found watching the latest Montreal Canadians game or streaming his favorite rugby team, the New Zealand All Blacks. Feel free to connect on his website or on any social media platform.
