Mike Brosnan is a Los Angeles native who spent much of the 80's hanging out in Hollywood's punk rock/new wave music scene. He received his BA at Cal State University, Northridge in film with a minor in journalism.  He has been a screenwriter, script consultant, story analyst and poet (he studied under Eloise Klein Healy - named LA’s first Poet Laureate in 2012), but has a special love for mystery fiction.  He has worked at the UCLA Film and Television Archive and was for a time in the development departments of producer Edward R. Pressman, producer/director Oliver Stone and Miramax. He has been employed at The Walt Disney Company for over 25 years. He is a proud member of the MWA (Mystery Writers of America) and the DWG (Disney Writers Group). 

 

In addition to his other careers, Mike has been a wine director and owned his own wine event planning business.  He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and author Jennifer Vandever. 

 

Pandora's Box is his first novel and was written, in part, while on a residency at the Dorland Mountain Arts Colony.
