Mike Wood

Mike Wood is a middle school teacher by day, husband/father by night, and author by accident. His first novel, Alchemy, was mostly written while recovering from a torn Achilles tendon (which is a cool injury when it happens on a football field, but not so cool when it occurs while dancing at an outdoor concert!) That injury, and a somewhat serendipitous meeting with best-selling author AJ Jacobs, inspired Mike to start pursuing his secret dream of being a writer. After many rejections from agents and publishers, claiming his work was great, but too hard to market, he finally found someone foolish enough to publish his books...himself!
