Author: Michael R.E. Adams

MICHAEL R.E. ADAMS pens narratives in the speculative tradition.

Portraying underrepresented groups, he seeks to expand the world's imagination of who we can all be. Even with magic, superpowers, and new perspectives, he tells tales that all people can relate to, stories about the desire and fear of connecting to others and exploring our own hearts.
