About the Author
Michael Phillips is a writer from Tampa, FL. The written word, to him, is like fine art, like liquor, beautiful and intoxicating. He’ll tell you writing’s possibly the only thing he does well, which is probably true. Due to the magic of bad genetics he doesn’t walk, nor does he breathe without the assistance of machines. One could also argue that he’s simply astonishingly lazy. Michael also doesn’t speak due to a little breathing tube in his throat, thus Johnny Depp once played his voice on an Emmy award winning episode of Showtime’s This American Life.
Michael writes something akin to a live memoir at lithiumcreations.com, as well as short fiction. At night, he’s a disco goddess.

But every time life kicks Michael in the nuts {by stealing his ability to walk, move freely, breath without assistance, eat, talk, type}, he sticks a shiv back in its eye, becoming one more part CYBORG!!

First!
Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Seriously though, this is the first time I’ve done the “first” thing ever.
