Michael Alan Peck tells tales big and small. Life's magical, but it isn't always enough for a good story. So he makes up the rest.
A winner of the Illinois state libraries' Soon to be Famous Illinois Author Project, heâs been called âan author to watchâ by Publishers Weekly. Heâs made his living writing about TV, its celebrities, and its past. Heâs also put food on the table reviewing restaurants and writing about travel.
He has a godawful memory, so he focuses on the written word. He likes to think that over time, heâs gotten better at itâthe writing, not the remembering. He forgets important dates. Heâs pretty good with movie lines. But after several years, he tends to tweak them. He prefers his versions over the real ones.
Funny goes a long way with him. Probably further than it should.
