Like a lot of great writers Micheal has his demons and the have haunted him in the past and, I fear, have returned to haunt him again. The guy I got to know certainly has the strength of chatacter to overcome them, but it takes time and energy. My thoughts are certainly with him

As far as his books go I still think "Attack of the Seawolf" is his best work.

Same here. I really enjoyed Mike's first books. I think he struggled later to keep his stories fresh, that's probably part of the growing process as a writer. I hope he picks up his pen again and produces a new book.

I had the honor of dining with Joe Buff (left) and Michael DiMercurio (right) last year.

Both of these men are wonderful fellows. Joe is warm and an amazing storehouse of info. I found Mike to be one of those guys who has charisma and wit, he's the type of guy that everyone gravitates to at a gathering. Very nice guy.
