"And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you.

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun."

 

'Time' written by Roger waters Pink Floyd 1974

Michael J. Dawson is an award-winning author and producer, credited with creating literature's first "twin novels"—Black Star and Life on Mars. These groundbreaking books invite readers to decide the order: read one first, both at the same time, or independently.

​

A finalist in two national Channel Four writing competitions and the mastermind behind mind-bending works for stage, film, and radio, Michael has a knack for unique storytelling that often blurs the line between fiction and reality.

​

From pioneering "Dramio" (a fusion of radio drama and comedy) to producing Jack Rosenthal's Hot Fat, Michael is no stranger to 'firsts'—and he’s got a few more surprises waiting. Whether crafting novels, producing stage plays, or inventing new genres, Michael calls Normandy, France, home, where he juggles life as a vegetarian athlete, tech enthusiast, and often misunderstood creative force.
