Inimitable Books

Writing is an advocation and a second career for me. After 40 years in Nursing, I retired and needed something to occupy my mind. I began writing that novel I always promised myself I would when I got the time. Six books later, I'm still learning the craft.

Full-time self-published author and sometimes podcaster, I write and publish science fiction and fantasy. I also write about the business of writing and publishing in The View From Here.

Mike Vance is the author of 3 novels and 10 non-fiction books on Texas history, historic true crime, comedy, and sports history. That non-fiction work informs his historical novels. He has produced well over 150 award-winning videos including feature length documentaries, short films and television shows on a variety of Texas history stories. Mike also traveled the English speaking world for 16 years doing stand-up comedy and fronting a band for which he wrote original music. He sometimes teaches Texas history at Rice University’s Glasscock School of Continuing Studies. Please check out the links below and sign up for my newsletter!
