Michael Kent is a retired international management consultant. Contrary to his technical writing, his fiction always has a tinge of humor and a special twist to the tale. A native of Montreal, he is bilingual, often speaking French and English in the same sentence. Years as a private pilot, avid reading, and extensive traveling, have built up a storehouse of plots and stories to be shared with the world. Michael has penned winning short stories on Writers on the Net, Writer's Village University, Flash Me Magazine, and won first in a flash and two 'drabble' contests. He is an active writer and reviewer on The Next Big Writer. He is a member of Canadian Crime Writers and (a mister) in Sisters In Crime.
