After a number of successful years, he retired his business and moved on to his next challenges. A true renaissance man, Michael combined his passion for joie de vivre with the dictum of 'travel is the best form of education' by living in the United States, England, the Caribbean and by travelling Europe, Turkey, South America and Mexico, where he met the powerful, famous, and humourous as well as politicians, charlatans, scamps, roués and the desperate. Combining that with his innate and eclectic disciplines in structural design, international finance, etiquette and manners consulting, motivational speaker and Cordon Bleu Chef, he created and authored (so far) the popular eight iconic Faison Quay Murder Mysteries; the well-received novel, Tilly and Nuella - A Lifetime Odyssey Of Friendship; the highly regarded Clod To Suave - The Etiquette, Manners, Grooming & Dressing 'Make-Over' Handbook For Women & Men; and three stage comedies, Frozen In Time, Up The Down Escalator and Elevator To Heaven. Michael's wonderful characters have been embraced by an ever-growing base of dedicated readers throughout the world, who often feel they are actually amid each of the stories.
