THE STRIPED LION
Mike's
latest release in hardcover with dust jacket by Skipjack Press, The Striped
Lion is the story of a bold experiment in conservation gone horribly wrong.
An African lioness, accidentally impregnated with semen from a man-eating
Siberian tiger, is released into Kenya's Masai Mara Game Preserve. Only one
of her cubs, the Alpha male, survives to maturity, but hybrid vigor has endowed
him with monstrous size and his father's genes have given him stealth and
a taste for human flesh. As fatalities mount during the height of the Masai
Mara's tourist season, a desperate race begins to find and destroy the elusive
killer. The hunters soon discover the problemis far more serious than they
had ever imagined. The Alpha male has been mating with the local lionesses,
and his offspring are man-eaters too....
Jack Hanna, (Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures is a nationally syndicated TV series) has written The Striped Lion's foreword. Mike is donating all proceeds from The Striped Lion's first printing to Partners In Conservation, a non-profit foundation dedicated to saving Rwanda's endangered mountain gorilla.

The Right Words at the Right Time, Volume 2: Your Turn!
Mike
is a featured author in Marlo Thomas's newest release, The Right Words
at the
Right Time, Volume 2: Your Turn! published by Simon & Schuster/Atria
Books. From big cities to farm communities, from office cubicles to hospital
wards, from Normandy Beach to Boston's Fenway Park, the contributors to this
remarkable volume -- selected from among thousands in a nationwide search
-- tell riveting stories about the words that changed their lives forever.
You'll meet a burned-out business executive, whose life was forever changed
by a janitor's words spoken in a childrens' oncology ward. You'll hear from
the bereaved fiancé of a 9/11 victim, who found hope in a note pinned
to a teddy bear. You'll laugh with a beleaguered soccer mom, who reveals the
single phrase she never wants to hear again. And your heart will break for
a prison inmate, who recalls the one piece of advice he still wishes he took.
In each case, words had made all the difference. Marlo Thomas has once again
tapped into the human spirit, assembling a breathtaking
collection of beautiful and inspiring essays about the enduring power ofwords,
and how their impact can last a lifetime. As a follow-up to her 2002 New
York Times #1 bestseller, The Right Words at the Right Time, Thomas presents
101 new first-person stories that are at once universal and strikingly personal.
The Right Words at the Right Time, Volume 2: Your Turn! is a collection
to be read and read again -- a volume that will be cherished both by fans
of the original book and anyone who has ever been touched by the startling
and life-affirming magic of words. All proceeds from this book will go to
benefit Saint Jude's Childrens' Research Hospital.
