Mike Kraus arrived on the fiction scene in 2012 with the surprise smash hit Final Dawn, a post-apocalyptic series that sold over 250,000 copies in just a year. A few years later he formed Muonic Press, the 5+ year top indie publisher of post-apocalyptic fiction on Amazon (according to book analytics firm K-lytics) and a truly unique indie press in how it operates collaboratively with authors to form connections with readers that last beyond a single book or series. Muonic Press and Mike collectively have over 3.25 million sales as of 2023, and that number continues to grow as they produce amazingly unputdownable entertainment.

In his youth, Mike Kraus devoured the works of Crichton, King and Preston & Child like there was no tomorrow, along with a healthy dose of technothrillers from the likes of James Rollins. These influences clearly ring true to this day, as readers have described Mike "like if Crichton and King had a love child" and he still loves imbibing in a pulpy technothriller whenever he has the chance.

For those interested in who I am and what makes me tick…read on!

I currently live in a small, rural town in Washington State set in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I spend my free time out hiking in the wilds and cherish the moments spent with my two grown kids and grandchild. I was a firefighter/EMT, and worked in the medical field for many years, before being fortunate enough to call myself a full-time author.

I grew up on sci-fi and have a love for mysteries and intricate plots. You'll discover my devotion to accuracy and correct science while reading my post-apocalyptic series, as well as my young adult trilogy, Forgotten origins. With plenty of action and character-driven plots, my books are full of twists that just might keep you reading late into the night.

My ongoing middle-grade mystery series, The Samantha Wolf Mysteries, has hit the best seller status on Amazon in the children's detective story genre several times and continues to grow in popularity. These engaging, fun stories herald back to the days of Nancy Drew and Trixie Beldon, and several readers claim the series is of the same caliber. These are clean reads that are suitable for the whole family to read together (for both young, and young at heart), and ALL of my books are in the Kindle Unlimited program.
