Michael Williams was born and lives in Louisville, Kentucky. After publishing poetry in American Review, Poetry Miscellany and other national and regional magazines, he wrote the songs that appear in six 'DragonLance' novels. His humour has appeared in Amazing Stories under the pen name of Hollis 'Bubba' Fletcher. His most recent stories appear (this time under his own name) in the 'DragonLance' anthologies 'The Magic of Krynn', 'Kender, Gully Dwarves and Gnomes' and 'Love and War'. He and his wife Teri, an artist and weaver, live in 'an old and eccentric part' of Louisville, and teach at the university. 'Weasel's Luck' was his first published novel.
