_{^{Welcome to my web site!  I’m Mike Lynch, and as you can see from the taglines above, I wear a lot of hats.  While these “hats” create headaches for me now and again, they also keep my life quite busy, and interesting.  At least I can say I am never bored.  Otherwise, I wouldn’t have anything good to write about.  They give me the inspiration to write about far off worlds, or the world we live in here on Earth.  With this in mind, perhaps you’d care to journey to the stars aboard a stellar cruiser and battle against beings of unparalleled hate, or experience a world in which the government controls every aspect of our lives, or perhaps read about the history of a sleepy town in Northern California my family helped settle in the 1850’s (check out the Titles page).  Either way, take a look around and see what I have to offer.}}

_{^{Titles -- Somehow, I managed to convince publishers to publish my work.  To find out more about the books I've written, what they're about, and how to order them, check out this page.}}

_{^{Book Reviews -- Read what other authors think about When the Sky Fell}}

_{^{Cover Art -- A cover doesn't just happen.  It's the result of many hours of hard work.  You can see the evolution of the artwork Glenn Kim did for our novel--from initial concept, to the amazing cover art you see for the book.}} 

_{^{Preview Chapters -- If you are interested in reading what I've written, I have included the first three chapters of my novel for your enjoyment.}}

_{^{Writing 101 -- Learn from what I did right, and conversely, avoid the pitfalls of what I did wrong.  There is already enough suffering associated with writing.}}

_{^{Biography -- This page explores where I have come from as a writer, and where I think I'm going.  I tried to trim away all the boring stuff, but I fear I may not have done a very good job.  Maybe it’s me that is boring, and no amount of editing can fix this.  First, drink a strong cup of coffee, and then jump in.}}

_{^{Future Projects -- If anything promising is looming on the horizon, I’ll let you know when it will happen.  A few surprises may pop up along the way, such as radio interviews, movie cameos, screenplays, or maybe even an appearance on the "Tonight Show".  Whatever comes down the pike, I'll be sure to keep you posted.}}

_{^{Contact -- If you have something to say to me, I’d love to hear it.  We can exchange our favorite tuna casserole recipes, discuss if you think there was a second gunman on the grassy knoll, or share whatever insights about writing you may wish to talk about.}}
