About

Michael Victor Bowman is a writer of fiction and, as of 2025, poetry. His first attempts at poetry will shortly be published in Star*Line (editor’s choice) and in Gothic Nature Journal. He’s also had various short stories published in anthologies.

In real life Michael is a biology graduate, was a bathroom salesman and is now a PhD candidate studying truth and lies in the AI era. The most exciting seven seconds of his academic life so far were being chased by an angry hippo in Tanzania, when he learned he that can run really fast in hiking boots.

Then followed a short career as a bathroom salesman while moonlighting as a copy-editor. He once edited some badly translated instructions for a Japanese coffee machine which, in hindsight, he suspects were actually euphemisms for something entirely different…

When not writing he can be found hiking with his dog. If you like his work, leave a comment or find him on social media because, as Charles Buxton said, silence is the severest criticism.
