Michael Thompson has always been a storyteller. In fourth grade he created his first Chicken Boy tale, which evolved into a popular series of books that he originally self-published as a teenager. Now an award-winning author and illustrator, Michael has gone on to share his love of writing and illustrating as an inspirational speaker, earn international acclaim in the Feathered Quill Book Awards for his novels, World of the Orb and Winslow Hoffner's Incredible Encounters, and most recently, rerelease anniversary editions of his beloved Chicken Boy series-the humorous, action-packed tales of friendship and heroism that started it all-with the promise of many more exciting adventures in store.
