Hi,
Welcome to my author page. My debut novel, 'The Super Spud Trilogy', was released in April 2012. It's about magical crisp packets with personalities determined by their flavouring - a little quirky and very satirical.
I enjoy sailing, fantasy football, skiing,table tennis, squash and playing computer/board games with my friend - especially Risk and Catan.
I studied geology at Manchester University, as I always wanted to be a volcanologist like Pierce Brosnan in Dante's Peak. But I'm currently working in Denmark.
In July 2013 I released 'Shadows in the Sand', the first part of my fantasy series Empyria and I concluded it with part 2, 'The Light and The Glass' later in the year.
In January 2015, I released 'The Secret Lives of Bicycles' - a children's novel suitable for big adults also, which features magical bicycles going on exciting adventures.
I will happily interact with readers to discuss the Super Spuds or Empyria. Find me on Twitter (@michaeljdiack), or Facebook. Thanks!

“Bear with me G-Harrison because this is going to be a long speech. I’ve always had this feeling that the world is not enough and I won’t be happy in life unless I hold hands with a girl who has a golden eye and a gold finger; I beat the living daylights out a guy called Dr No; I get a postcard from my friend who lives in Russia which reads ‘From Russia with love’; I spend some time working for her majesty’s secret service; I play the Thunderball Super Spud lottery; I meet a guy called Moonraker; I finally get a licence to kill, which I applied for months ago; I buy a house with a view to kill for and I get a pet octopus called Octopussy. If only I lived twice and tomorrow never died, maybe then I would get a chance to fulfil my dreams.”
