Michael Tierney

Michael Tierney has been writing since he learned to spell his first two words, Stop and Go, which he used to complete a crude comic strip about military tanks crossing hills and rivers. In High School he was editor of the school paper and went to the State Finals in Journalism .Even before that he had already published his first science fiction tale of the Wild Stars in the fan pages of Eerie magazine. By the age of 22 he was managing a printing division of International Graphics and had already released a self-published magazine of his art and stories: The Multiversal Scribe. Elected to multiple terms as a City Councilman, he has been a book retailer since 1982, was a finalist for multiple retailer awards, and has been an Overstreet Price Guide Advisor since 1999--writing over a thousand industry articles and reviews. His Wild Stars comics from the 1980s through the early 2000s have been collected into Wild Stars: The Book of Circles--Recalibrated. He also wrote a Wild Stars role playing game for Trolllords Games, and continues to release a new Wild Stars novel every year through Cirsova Magazine of Thrilling Adventure and Daring Suspense. Cirsova subsequently releases them in hardcover and magazine formats, and has collected his first four books into a massive Wild Stars Omnibus that includes a compendium of characters, places, and events. Cirsova also published other short stories and essays by Michael, including his posthumous collaboration with Edgar Rice Burroughs on Young Tarzan and the Mysterious She. He writes, letters, and colored the first 100 episodes of the ongoing online comic strip, Beyond the Farthest Star, for ERB, Inc., and created the four volume, 1200 page Edgar Rice Burroughs 100 Year Art Chronology. His four volume Robert E. Howard Art Chronology is even larger with 1600 pages and 360,000 words. He is a Master certified scuba diver, and this hobby includes underwater photography, with sharks being his favorite subject.
