Michael Fedor

Author of political thrillers that test the boundaries between terrifying and terrifyingly plausible

Before Michael Fedor wrote about the dark corridors of power, he walked them. An award-winning thriller author, Fedor's stories blur the line between tomorrow's headlines and dystopian prophecy. His debut novel, What It Takes to Kill a Bull Moose—finalist for the Storytrade Award and winner of the PenCraft Award for Best Suspense/Thriller—was praised for its high-stakes storytelling and chillingly plausible vision of America's future. Through the Bull Moose Trilogy (What It Takes to Kill a Bull Moose, Tree of Liberty, and The Nine-Hour President), Fedor delivers page-turning suspense in the tradition of Brad Meltzer, Vince Flynn, and Daniel Silva, while weaving in the thought-provoking depth of Margaret Atwood and George Orwell. A strategist and educator, Fedor draws on firsthand experience inside the machinery of politics to craft thrillers that feel terrifyingly authentic. His books invite readers to ask not just what if?—but what now? When he isn't writing, Michael speaks and consults on leadership, storytelling, and the future of democracy. He lives in Pennsylvania with his family.
