More about me

  Welcome to my humble profile. There's not much I can add here besides what you see elsewhere on the page. I like to travel, read, write, listen to music, and outdoor activities. I became a granddad for the first time in 2008, so you can imagine how excited me and my family are about the grandbaby -- Lily Sofia. And earlier this year we welcomed our second granddaughter -- Lola Grace. We are truly blessed.

  I'm also an author, educator, and editor, spending most of my career in those areas. For those interested in my writing, you can visit www.michaelembry.com. I'm also on Twitter at @MichaelEmbry and blog at www.michaelembryblogspot.com.

   For those interested in my latest books, you can visit www.wings-press.com. My latest novel, Shooting Star, was released April 1 2011. I've had two other novels published by Wings -- Foolish Is The Heart and A Confidential Man. I've also had two other novels republished:  A Long Highway and The Touch. Besides the publisher's Web site, you can also find my books at www.amazon.com and other Internet sites. I also have signed copies from my website. I'm currently working on a short story collection. More about that later.

      I'm not worried or upset about growing older. I've found that I enjoy life at this stage, being able to build on experiences and add new ones. I'm along for the ride, until the very end. Perhaps our paths will cross along the way!

   I look forward to hearing from you.
