Michael Z. Williamson is a science fiction and military fiction author. Born in Birkenhead, England, he and his family emigrated to Canada, then the United States in 1978. Williamson frequently utilizes the pen names "Mad Mike", and "Crazy Einar". He is retired from the United States military.[1]

Williamson's first book, Freehold, was released in January 2004. The novel is set in a future wherein the United Nations is a fascist empire. Williamson's next novel, The Hero, was written with New York Times best-selling author John Ringo and takes place within the universe of Ringo's Legacy of the Aldenata series. Both Freehold and The Hero were published by Baen Books. He also has many short stories published in various anthologies.

Williamson has written or published several other works: The Weapon, covering events concurrent to Freehold told from a different point of view; Better To Beg Forgiveness, a story set in the Freehold universe but before the Grainne War series and a follow-on book to that with the same characters: Do Unto Others; and Contact with Chaos set 20 years after the events of The Weapon.

Michael has also written the "Target: Terror" series, which thus far includes The Scope of Justice, Targets of Opportunity, and Confirmed Kill. These cover the story of two U.S. Army Rangers, engaged in black operations against terrorist groups threatening the United States.

In his free time Williamson also sells, restores and crafts swords and other edged weapons.. He is married and has two children.[1]
