Chatting With Sherri welcomes  award-winning writer; Michael Panter!

Michael Panter is an English author and journalist with exceedingly high ambitions and a frustratingly low word count per day. A language enthusiast, he speaks fluent Swedish and is well on his way to learning Italian.
His writing journey began humbly when, aged seven, he penned the sequel to Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. George Lucas went with Attack of the Clones instead. Michael’s love for secondary-world fantasy, meanwhile, was fostered largely by Tolkien. In 2018, one of his novellas, Deathsworn, won a Watty, Wattpad’s highest honour, reminding him that he is good enough, he can do this writing thing.

“Lilt of a Lark,” his first professional sale, tells the story of a hapless musician who has the power to sway the minds of others through song. Droll, witty, and devilishly handsome, drawing parallels between character and author is permissible. Michael currently lives in Stockholm, Sweden, with his partner Jonna and their one-year-old bear cub, Ivar. He is hard at work on a full-length fantasy novel that he hopes will hit bookshelves before his hair goes grey.

Stockholm, Sweden writer Michael Panter was honored at the Writers of the Future Contest his story, "Lilt of the Lark," published in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 38.
