A sought after guest speaker for Texas History & English classes, Mike's presentations bring to life Texas' rich history and motivate teenagers to become lifelong readers. Since 2005, he has made over four hundred presentations to English and History classes touting the benefits of "reading for fun." Teachers write that Mike "puts it in their lingo", "reinforces classroom instruction", and sends teens "buzzing into the library." In 2007, he started The Collaborative Novella Project. The project allows future "authors" to go through the novel writing process - from idea to published work. The first year's published title was, A Brother's Sin (2008), followed by Broken Promises (2009), Falling in a Circle (2010), and Anthology (2011)
