Michael Ross - Writer

Born and raised in Bristol, England, I spent my adult life in business, much of that time marketing cars, and eventually owned the largest Saab specialist in the world, I then left Bristol to live halfway up a mountain in the Welsh Valleys, start a six-year English Literature course at Bristol University, and attend creative writing classes in Cardiff. My interest in English literature peaked! I flourished soon won several prizes for my short stories. Over a ten-year period, I worked in the substance abuse charity sector, running book reading groups in various places including Parc Prison in Bridgend. A richly rewarding experience, both personally and as an inspiration for my future writing. So many interesting people entered my life during that period. My first collection, 'Twenty Short Stories - Settling a score," reached No 1 in the Short Stories Best Sellers and is still available, As are the four follow up anthologies "Twenty-One (more) Short Stories." "Another Twenty-Two Short Stories" "Twenty-Four Short Stories." "Twenty-Six Short Stories" was released in December 2023. in September  2016 was a busy year with the first of my thriller "Pin-up and Tanner" series - "Hand Over Fist" and a light hearted rom-com "Chasing What's Already Gone" were released out into the world. To round that year off the follow-up to "Hand Over Fist," entitled "Hand in Glove" was published at the end of 2017. Writing once again  in 2024 I will be re-publishing the thoughtful love story "Words on Paper" under the title -"Paper Thin Words," and summer 2024 sees the release of my new rom-com thriller - "Quiet the Waves." Also putting my short stories into one anthology, provisionally entitled "120 Short Stories." 
I live very happily halfway up that mountain in the Welsh Valleys with my wonderful partner, Mari, and our rescue dog Wenna.
