My name is Michael Phelps. NO (sorry to disappoint), I am NOT the young, good-looking, talented, Olympic Champion. I am the (NOT so) young, (NOT at all) good-looking, (YES) talented, (NOT) an Olympic Champion. I am an Author.

While engaged as Chief Investigator for a prominent Miami (FL) Law firm which specialized in criminal defense I Co-authored "DAVID JANSSEN-MY FUGITIVE" with the iconic actor's first wife, Ellie Janssen. Published in December, 1994 in Hardcover, with Paperback Editions following in 1995, 1996 & 1997 the book sold in excess of 1.2 Million copies world-wide. Upon retiring from the law firm, I chose to embark on the challenging career of becoming an Author. I promised myself never to co-author a book with anyone, especially the ex-wife of a celebrity. I chose to write about something I know well; Police & Detective novels and Court room trials, murder and mayhem.

My debut novel, "THE EXECUTION OF JUSTICE" is based on the murder of a close friend and one time mentor of mine, Detective Sergeant Jack Orhberg, Robbery & Homicide Unit of the Indianapolis Police Department. Jack was brutally murdered on December 11, 1980. Published in Hardcover by Blue Line Publishing House, Inc. on January 30, 2009 and E-book format in July of 2010. In this novel I created the "Mike Walsh Detective Novels" series. In July of 2012 I released "THE JOCKEY'S JUSTICE", the second in the "Mike Walsh Detective Novels" series. It is based on the murder of a winning horse racing Jockey, a case I worked on for the law firm.

I have just completed a long journey into the past with my friend DAVID JANSSEN. My Memoir, "DAVID JANSSEN-Our Conversations, VOLUME ONE-The Early Years (1965-1972) and VOLUME TWO, The Final Years (1973-1980) are now available exclusively on Amazon Kindle. Softcover Editions are in the print process now. A Hardcover Edition is available by Special Order.

“So many people along the way,whatever it is you aspire to do, will tell you it can't be done. But it all it takes is imagination. You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there no limits,”
