About the Author

Det. Ty Connell is a hybrid character based on several colorful police officers Michael Hughes has known personally -- at the city, state, and federal levels -- and with whom he's spent many memorable hours over beer, over lunch, over weapons at the range, listening and learning from everyday "on the job" working officers. Michael also counts as a reliable research source a formerly active member of one of New York City's major crime families who has since retired from "the Life." He works now for various police departments taking on-call assignments as a for-hire CI, confidential informant, and as a professional IC, an intel contact, someone who can develop his own leads and sources. In the Connell books he's called "The Ferret." In real life he has played a key role in cracking a number of disturbing front-page murder cases. (Strictly non mob related.). In his career, Michael has been a court reporter, journalist, feature writer, editor, managing editor, columnist, owner/creative director of Michael Hughes Advertising & Promotions Inc., and owner/senior writer of Prime Time Media PR Services. He has previously written published biographies of two colorful sports/media personalities (details on request), the three books to date of the TY CONNELL Series, the three books to date of the TY CONNELL 'NOIR NOVELLA' Series, as well as a screenplay, JOEY BLANKS: MOB HITMAN, a romantic "mob" comedy. Raised in Battle Creek, Michigan, Michael became hooked on the world of mystery fiction when, at age fourteen, he discovered Conan Doyle and Dashiell Hammett. His first mystery short was done as a school project. He attended Laurentian University, B.A. English, and U of M Ann Arbor, Dramatic & Comic Scriptwriting. He has a private pilot's license, owns some nice weapons and is a member of his local gun club, and is a civilian member of his regional police association where he keeps up to date on police issues, jargon, and developments through the occasional beer at the police club in the evenings. His idea of an escape is to slip off to that calming center of the universe, Manhattan NYC.
