Michael
G'Francisco
In
2000, Michael switched genres from historical
research to fiction and began writing a police
crime series featuring a female detective protagonist
with a Sherlock Holmes persona. The series is
based on a crime investigating unit, dubbed, "Scotland
Yard" that existed within the Chicago Police
Department from 1921 to 1956.
His
third manuscript titled "She's Naked and
Dead" is being reviewed by a small publisher.
A fifth, a historical chronology of Chicago's
mobsters is in skeletal form.
A
fourth manuscript, Chicago's Madam of Death, is
midway to completion.
Previously,
his published works included: a trinity of spiritual
poems, four historical souvenir booklets and historical
city tours for three major U.S. cities. He also
did a stint as a columnist for a Florida newspaper.
At present, besides his column with MyShelf.com,
he is writing political news articles for five
web sites.
His
relaxation hobbies include: restoring / owning
classic cars and raising Angelfish. You are cordially
invited to visit his web sites.
