Autorenporträt
Michael W. Barnes is a first time novelist. He resides in New Orleans and Los Angeles, which serve as the sets for "Off The Algo." Born in Iowa as one of seven children, he was raised in a happy family of dynamic equilibrium that seems almost impossible by today's standards. State university-schooled and then off to Stanford Law School in California, he has been a transactional lawyer for decades. In the meantime, he found time to run a vineyard and winery, own a few bars and a farm/ranch, and provide a happy life to some dogs and people. He also dons scuba gear with his family and keeps a pilot's license in the drawer, and he wrote and directed an award-winning documentary film.
