K.
Michael Wright grew
up near an Assinaboine Indian reservation in Montana where
he first gained a deep appreciation for Native
American culture, which later led to extensive travel and
research into Mesoamerican myth and history.
After
picking up a BA in History, he earned a Master's of Fine
Arts degree in Creative
and Critical Writing from Brigham Young University, during
which time he won the Kennedy Center Award for Excellence
for his play Outrun the Night.
After graduating,
he moved to LA and worked in production companies and as
a screenwriter. He also wrote scripts for the Canadian
Broadcast Company in Vancouver. He eventually "did time" in
New York as a consultant and technical writer for companies
like Comedy Central and Bank of New York.
Tolteca is his first novel.
Mr.
Wright lives in an historic 1630 house
in New England and also spends time in
Utah. Among his hobbies are building wooden model
ships, online computer gaming, and karate (SKA).
