Mike Nemeth was born and raised in Appleton, Wisconsin and is a die-hard Badger and Packer fan. A Vietnam-era Army veteran, he raised a daughter as a single parent while pursuing a career in high technology that took him from Atlanta to Texas, Colorado, Tennessee, London and Florida before returning to Atlanta. He holds a private pilot’s license, once coached a state champion AAU basketball team, and is a golfer and trout-fishing enthusiast.
In addition to his three novels, Mike has published two nonfiction works about sports: 128 Billion to 1, why no one can predict the outcome of the NCAA Basketball Tournament; and Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics, why the selection committee always chooses the wrong teams to play in the college football playoffs. He also wrote The Missing Ingredient, an article published in The New York Times that explained why college football rankings are always wrong.
Defiled and The Undiscovered Country follow the exploits of ex-con Randle Marks, while Parker’s Choice introduces an entirely new set of diverse characters facing new obstacles and challenges. The recurring theme in Mike’s novels is: There is a difference between what’s morally right and wrong, and what’s legal and illegal under the law.
