Michael Beck

With a passion for adventure and the outdoors, most of Michael Beck’s life has been devoted to pursuing his love of extreme sports. He is a qualified whitewater instructor and has spent many years exploring Australia’s wild , remote rivers. His love of photography and writing led him to have some of these exploits published. He is an expert skier and has a bachelor of education degree.

Ever since he left home at 18 to travel around Australia with nothing but $200 and thirty cans of spaghetti in the trunk of his old HR Holden, Michael has done things slightly different. He worked in a litany of odd jobs such as bridge builder, chicken catcher, circus hand and bartender, all of which have provided fodder for his creative mind. Since he was a child he has been an omnivorous reader and always dreamt of writing a novel, but could never sit still long enough to make it happen.

Having seven children in eleven years along the way didn’t help. Working full time whilst raising six boys and one girl is a story in itself. But, somehow, between the bedtime bedlam and birthday parties he completed his first novel. Miracles do happen.

Michael Beck resides in Victoria, Australia, with his wife and tribe.

Shifter

~A shapeshifter pisses off a serial killer, and leads him on a nail biting, hair-raising ride through outback Australia.~



Jamie Race is on the run. Not surprising when you are the world's first shape shifter. All that stands between Jaime and a lifetime of incarceration are his wits, his shape changing ability and the love of two girls, Amy and Celeste. A clandestine government organisation, known only as the Company, killed his mother and is pursuing him relentlessly. He thought things couldn't get much worse.

Wrong.

Suddenly, he comes across the path of Theo Tanis, a millionaire businessman with a secret life. Jaime's first mistake was discovering Theo's deadly passion. His second was falling for Theo's super model girlfriend, Samantha. Jaime soon learnt it wasn't wise to piss off a rich, lunatic serial killer.

Jamie leads Theo and Dr Locke, the ruthless scientist responsible for his powers, through a wild and hair raising chase through the wilds of outback Australia, his freedom and his life the prize.

If things weren't complicated enough, Jamie also has to deal with the emotional roller coaster of his shape shifting body. When he suddenly develops the ability to change into females things get very confusing. How does a nineteen year old boy of limited sexual experience cope when he suddenly finds that the macho biker, Chad, who saves his life, has the hots for him? Or rather, her! And what is his circus star girlfriend, Celeste, going to say when she learns out that he slept with a biker? Not to mention the gay martial arts instructor, Amy, that falls for him when he is a girl!

All this is a lot to handle for your average, nineteen year old shape shifter.
