Vanaf 1991 is Mike aan het schrijven geweest aan verschillende korte verhalen en is hij begonnen aan zeven romans. Die allemaal niet af kwamen om uiteenlopende redenen. Daarnaast heeft hij in verschillende King Kong Award en Millennium Prijs Jury's gezeten en heeft hij samen met Roelof Goudriaan een jaar of tien aan Babel Publications gewerkt.In 1991 won hij de Rob Vooren prijs voor beste nieuwe auteur en in 1992 de King Kong Award voor beste korte verhaal, samen met Paul Harland.

Het tweede deel ‘In Schaduwen van Weleer’ verscheen in de loop van 2012 bij Verschijnsel.Meer recent schrijft hij ook veel in het Engels en publiceert op de Engelse markt voor bladen en verzamelbundels, mede omdat daar in Nederland niet genoeg ruimte voor is.Een bezigheid die hij ook weer heeft opgepakt is het hoofdredacteursschap voor uitgeverij Verschijnsel (de voortzetting van Babel Publications), waar zijn voornaamste aandachtsgebied de e-publicatie-markt is.Hij woont in Hilversum met zijn gezin en naast schrijven werkt hij ook nog wel eens voor een cutting edge technologiebedrijf en doet dat redelijk internationaal.
