Michael Olmstead

Michael Olmstead

Michael was born at United Hospital in Clarksburg, West Virginia, on June, 20, 1983. At the age of three his family moved to Keene, NH where they lived for 10 years. When Michael's mother remarried they moved to Massachusetts where he spent his time aggravating teachers and getting into trouble at home. It was a broken home as they say, and he found solice in his own rebellion. So in the eighth grade he was expelled for some crime against the faculty, and sent to a private school in northern Vermont where he was repeatedly abused. Attempted to run away 7 times, before being pulled out by his mother and moved back down to Worcester MA, he was no stranger to the local police. After a few run ins with the law Michael was committed to the Department of Youth Services until his eighteenth birthday.Since those good old days Michael has attained his GED, and worked his way through two years of college while developing a strong addiction to pain killers and cocaine, whilst holding down a grade point average of 3.0. In his second year of college he dropped out due to an ensuing legal battle, and has been wandering the United States ever since; living in cities such as Boston, working as a carny in Louisville, and even making his way as far west as Las Vegas, and Lake Havasu, AZ. He currently resides in the mid-west, somewhere, spending his time writing, and sleeping the days away in a quaint city in the hills.
