Born in Brooklyn, New York, Michael Geraghty relocated to the small town of Monroe, New York, in 1978 and has resided there ever since. He has been writing since childhood, earning a BA in English from SUNY New Paltz and an MA in English from Western Connecticut State University. He spent years working for the West Point Association of Graduates before some life-changing events occurred, changing his outlook on life forever. Luckily, that included finding his way into the world of writing, first with Scarlet Lantern Publishing and then with his own publishing imprint, Hold Fast Publishing. He has since published twelve books, all of which are contemporary, small-town romances that reflect his strong views of family, friendship, humor, faith, and relationships. Michael lives happily with his wife of over thirty years, Michelle, in Harriman, New York, and his beloved King Charles Cavalier, Chester, and has a son, Sean.
