I have been really impressed by this author. His stories are well thought out and inspired in a lot of ways. I expect that a TV company could in reality make a TV show based on his writings. The attention to detail is a master class in its own way. I do wonder how many authors base their writing on events that have happened to them rather than events that they wished could have happened?

I found the emotions in Mike's writing spot on. I could in reality picture myself sitting in each scene watching the action take place.

I agree with you. The fantastic world he creates works because 95% of it is real, and the 5% is founded in reality. The trick of writing any story, but especially in writing fantasy, is to found it on a solid base of reality

It was Michael Arram's 'Henry in the Outfield' that was the very first story that I came across by pure chance on the 'Nifty Archive'
He then announced that his stories were coming here. I then found so much else.  It was actually Michael who inspired me to 'have a go' at writing.

I did, it seemed to work...


I agree, his writing is highly polished and so very professional in many ways.  Paul Jamison

I have just finished reading all of Michael's stories now and have genuinely been hooked from start to finish. I have never regretted coming to the end of a story so much. I would have been really rather happy to carry on reading these adventures. Such a shame he stopped writing.
