Michael Fedor

Suspense and political thriller debut author Michael Fedor crafts thrilling stories of power, political maneauvers, and the human condition. After a twenty-year detour into politics, Michael Fedor has set his sights on his passion – storytelling. For his first independent speculative fiction novel, Michael dusted off a story he wrote but never published in 2004. Like a Jane Goodall of modern politics, he is using his observations and experiences to introduce a new political thriller series with the release of What it Takes to Kill a Bull Moose (Bull Moose Book 1) in March 2024.
