Mickey Schoonover
Hey, it’s me ….
I’ve been making up fictional stories for most of my life, writing fantastical tales in the margins of my days as a reporter and public relations professional. My debut dystopian romantic fantasy Fount and Fortune will published on Aug. 27, and the sequel is completed and being revised. When I’m not writing, I can be found reading, hiking, taking way too many photographs of nature and faraway places, and going on adventures with the people I love.
