David S. Michaels was born in 1957. He went to school in Salt Lake City, Utah with aspirations of becoming a science fiction writer. He moved to California in the 1970s and attended a small college where he studied journalism, having no classes on SF available to him. After graduation he worked in journalism until 1991, when he began a new career as a dealer of ancient Greek and Roman coins.
In October, 2007, Breakneck Books published his first novel, Red Moon with co-author and junior-high-school friend David Breton, a critically-praised[1] novel that combined fascination with the historical American and Soviet moon race with near-future speculation of a multinational return mission to the moon for lunar ice prospecting.
David S. Michaels currently lives in Valencia, California with his wife, Margo, and three daughters.
