Michael Bowker

Michael currently lives in Santa Barbara, California, which he describes as, “A paradise of billionaires, bums, writers and swindlers. The challenge, on any given morning at Starbucks in Montecito, is to tell them apart.”

 

An award-winning investigative journalist and novelist, he is the author of 21 books and more than 4,000 articles. Michael enjoys sharing his passion for telling stories about the sometimes inspirational, sometimes illegal, but always compelling things that people do.  He is also the co-founder of Sixty Degrees Publishing, which offers an author-friendly environment 'where art and literature meet'.  (www.Sixtydegreespublishing.com) 

 

His newest novel, GODS OF OUR TIME: A Paris Love Story, is scheduled for worldwide publication in February 2020.  However, you can get a signed copy now, at GODSOFOURTIME.ORG, just for cruising through this site! 

​

The movie rights to his novel have already been sold.  The film company's CEO said:  "I loved the book. It's a powerful and emotional story worthy of a large following."

 

Michael's career has been diverse, ranging from serving for five years as a newspaper reporter and writing 20 non-fiction books published by Simon & Schuster, Crowne and Random House, to leading a major national business magazine as executive editor and writing more than 230 speeches for a two-term mayor of Los Angeles. 

​

He has written for the L.A. Times, the N.Y. Times, and Reader's Digest and he and his work have been featured on CBS, NBC, ABC, 20/20, the Oxygen Channel, HBO, and more than 150 radio stations nationwide. He also served as Publishing Director for an international health company, where book sales increased from 10,000 per year to 150,000 annually under his leadership.  He also founded a non-profit benefiting cancer victims and was a humor columnist for two California newspapers.

​

He has worked as a free-lance writer and editor for several years, and now serves as CEO of Sixty Degrees Publishing, while working on his second novel.  He loves working with authors to help them write, publishing and promote their work.
