About the Author

Picture of Mr. Silverlocke with a Keebler Elf. (Elf not shown.)

Rhys-Michael Silverlocke was born on the cusp of Libra and some other sign which momentarily escapes memory-- it may have been "No Dumping".  [Thank god that "astrology" is complete and utter rubbish or Mr. Silverlocke might have suffered a bizarre concatenation of celestial eventualities. (Thank astrology that "god" is also complete and utter rubbish.) Astrology and religions are just nice opportunities for people to say pretentious and superficial things like "Oh I would never eat sushi with someone who wasn't born in the year of the Rat".]  For those of you who do not know him, Mr. Silverlocke has been a writer for most of his life.   He is in his VERY late 20's and well over 4 feet tall. 

Mr. Silverlocke is completely shocked over two million people have taken the time to peruse his humble site because he does not offer any pornography-- he considers this an unusual event for the internet. When not speaking parenthetically, Mr. Silverlocke is probably speaking pedantically, or possibly inaudibly and entirely for his own amusement. In any case, the operative concept is that he rarely stops speaking; when he gets a few hundred thousand words left over that no one in the immediate area desires hearing then he generally sets them down into novel form. 

The topics and styles of his writing are too variegated to outline here but there is no theme too subtle and no issue too weighty to escape his notice. Mr. Silverlocke will take on any subject and does not believe in sacred cows or vegetarians-- as the Mel Gibson movie "Passion of the Christ" proved, if you can stick a spear in something then you probably should… if only for ratings, or to spark meaningless controversies on chat shows.

Mr. Silverlocke has written many novels; his short stories (pressed into hardwood) can be used to construct an elegant 18th century provincial armoire. He is a writer, pianist, composer and chef… but sadly none of his creations to date have proved truly toyetic and thus are not available with a "value meal" at any local fast-food chain.  A recent stroke has turned him into an attempted guitarist-- his efforts in that regard have been largely unremarkable, but can be found here.

He lists among his passions: origami, demonic possession, and floral arrangement. He has founded a society dedicated to performing Civil War re-enactments using only garden slugs and recycled toothpicks. Recently, he authored a series for Instinct Magazine entitled Blood & Brimstone which made less and less sense as the artist cut each new panel from the script and inevitably proved terribly silly.

His new work, "Lazarus Kane & The Benevolent Terrorists" is now available on Kindle and in oversized paperback.  Click the PROJECTS link to find it and other books.  Short stories are in the fiction section.
