Michael K. Piper is a new author of mystery and thriller books, and his debut book is a page-turning thriller entitled Jazz Town. A retired history professor, Piper now spends his time pursuing his dream of writing books. He is an avid history buff with a particular interest in late 19th and early 20th century American history, true crime, and social injustices. When he’s not writing, Piper can be found spending time with his three grown children and four grandchildren or playing dominoes, chess, or checkers. He also enjoys an occasional round of golf or a game of poker with friends, as well as spending time at the local park when the weather is nice. Piper likes to entertain friends and family at his home just outside of Atlanta, GA with his wife, Regina, to whom he has been married for 32 years, and their dogs, Ever and Echo.
