Michael Amedeo

With nothing to his name but a GED, Michael Amedeo had no choice but to begin writing. The active voice helped him earn a BA in Political Science from the University of Illinois at Chicago and an MA in International Relations from the intellectually demanding University of Chicago. He became an award-winning creative copywriter for corporations and agencies, a freelance film critic and journalist for several newspapers and magazines, and a PR and media relations writer for still more organizations. Looking for a new writer's edge, Amedeo turned to fiction and created the stylishly embittered private dick, Matt Moulton.
