About Michael Sheldon
A full-time writer, Michael has published numerous articles on photography, investments, and biotechnology. He is the co-author of George Russell's Success by Ten, published by Wiley. He also invented a form of photographic novel called "photoromance," and hopes to continue visual storytelling at the Evil Morons blog site. In spite of his Ivy League education, Michael has always been a fan of clear, independent thinking. He was exposed to libertarian ideas while living in Montana during the Reagan years, and he has been getting in better touch with his inner redneck since then.
