About Michael Fedor

Independent Author

Michael’s Story

Political fiction author Michael Fedor brings 20 years of political organizing and storytelling experience to write for lovers of suspense, thrillers, and even political fantasy. Michael uses his observations and experiences in the wild, wooly worlds of Washington, DC, and state capitols to tell captivating stories of power, politics, and the human condition. His style makes his novels fast-paced and deliciously thrilling. His meticulous research ensures each story is terrifyingly plausible. Readers will wonder where the lines of real-life end and political fantasy begin, especially with his debut series Bull Moose.

Michael left the classroom 18 years ago to work in politics. Working for candidates from Dogcatcher to President, Michael gained an up-close view of the personal costs of pursuing power. A multi-year candidate himself, he won 3 of the 5 offices he sought before hanging up his “running shoes” for good in 2020.

Finally heeding advice to “seize the day,” Michael dusted off a novel he wrote but never published in 2004. The first book in a new political thriller series, What It Takes to Kill a Bull Moose (Book 1), is set for release in May 2024.

Michael earned both master’s and bachelor’s degrees from Penn State University. Like the main character of Bull Moose, Michael is an avid outdoorsman, a voracious reader, and a student of history. Michael remains undefeated at pub trivia.
