Michael F. Haspil is a geeky engineer and nerdy artist. A veteran of the U.S. Air Force, he had the opportunities to serve as an ICBM crew commander and as a launch director at Cape Canaveral. The art of storytelling called to him from a young age and he has plied his craft over many years and through diverse media. He has written original stories for as long as he can remember and has dabbled in many genres. However, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror have whispered directly to his soul.
When he isn’t writing, you can find him sharing stories with his role-playing group, cosplaying, computer gaming, or collecting and creating replica movie props. Lately, he devotes the bulk of his hobby time to assembling and painting miniatures for his tabletop wargaming addiction.
TOR published Michael’s debut novel, GRAVEYARD SHIFT, an urban fantasy story featuring an immortal pharaoh battling an ancient vampire conspiracy, in 2017. It was well-received and was a finalist for the Colorado Book of the Year. Michael is currently working on several tie-in fiction projects, other stories within the universe of “Graveyard Shift”, and assorted novels and short stories. His stories have made numerous anthology appearances including in “Gunfight On Europa Station” and “No Game For Knights” from Baen. His Warhammer 40,000 stories are currently available from Games Workshop’s Black Library.
