Michael Simon
Michael Simon lives on the Canadian Atlantic Coast with his wife, Anne, and three children. To sustain a lifelong writing addiction, he works as a Family Physician, where every day brings its own stories: he’s delivered babies, worked 48-hour ER shifts, stitched-up NHL professional hockey players, and even treated touring rock bands like Motley Crew and Simple Plan.
Michael is excited to announce that his Science Fiction Trilogy, ‘The First Command Series’, will be published by Aethon in 2024.
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 radio show airing on Canada’s East Coast.
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. If you want to connect with Michael, you can find him on Twitter or visit his website.
