Michael Gabbard lives in Southwest Florida on the Gulf of Mexico in the U.S.A. with his life-partner and 4 Chihuahuas. Born in North Carolina and raised throughout the South, Texas, and California in a military family, Michael benefitted from the multi-cultural melting pot that is the American military. He chose European History and English Literature as his major areas of study in college.

He is an avid collector of world coinage, recipes from the 'old south' and around the world, and as an amateur genealogist has researched his extended family tree back to 1790 c.e. He is a student of religion, spirituality, and mythology.
